A practical skin-care reference built for the cart—not the classroom.
At The Cart™: Initial Skin Care is a customizable point-of-care quick-reference tool created specifically for nurses working in long-term care and skilled nursing.
Created by a wound-care certified LPN with more than 10 years of wound-care experience, this tool addresses a common problem on the floor: a nurse identifies a new skin concern and needs to know what the facility wants done next.
Rather than simply stating “per facility protocol,” At The Cart™ gives facilities editable space to enter their own authorized initial-care instructions, products, frequencies, and escalation process.
INCLUDES QUICK-REFERENCE SECTIONS FOR:
• Skin tears
• Surgical incisions with sutures/staples
• Nonblanching red/dark areas
• Blisters
• MASD / moisture damage
• Weeping edema involving the skin
• Open wounds organized by drainage amount
PLUS:
A companion “Document What You See. Don’t Name It.” guide that supports objective skin documentation without asking the floor nurse to diagnose, stage, classify, or determine wound etiology.
Prompts cover location, skin integrity, measurements when applicable, drainage, odor, surrounding skin, pain, relevant lower-extremity findings, and suture/staple observations.
WHAT YOU RECEIVE
• 2-page digital PDF
• Editable facility instruction fields
• Initial skin-care quick reference
• Objective skin-documentation guide
• Designed for LTC/SNF point-of-care use
At The Cart™ is designed to bridge the gap between “I found something” and “What does my facility want me to do right now?”
