9. Weak vs. strong documentation

Weak — does not survive

Why it fails

Strong — defensible

“Perineal care done. Skin okay.”

No skin assessment, no moisture-vs-pressure distinction, no risk rationale.

The perineal-protection model note in §3: the intact skin with the barrier/containment and offloading plan, and the reason skilled perineal management was required for this high-risk resident.

“Redness in groin.”

No moisture-vs-pressure distinction, no plan, no infection screen.

“Moisture-associated dermatitis (erythema/denudement in a moisture pattern) — barrier/containment intensified; offloading reinforced; monitored for infection.”

“Perineal wound dressed.”

No wound characteristics, no periwound, no infection watch.

“Perineal/sacral wound cleansed and dressed per order; characteristics assessed and trended; periwound protected; no spreading infection.” (Staging to Skin.)
