Wound Care Templates
Good wound documentation lets a second nurse picture the wound without lifting the dressing. These forms prompt consistent measurement, tissue description, exudate, periwound skin and the response to treatment, so progress can be compared week to week.

Questions
How should wounds be measured?
Most protocols measure length head to toe, width side to side at a right angle to length, and depth with a sterile applicator, all in centimetres. Follow your facility's wound protocol.
Can I add wound photos?
Only according to your facility's photography and consent policy. Never store patient photos on personal devices.
