Documentation of wound measurements is important for legal and health-related purposes. If you are unable to get an exact measurement, try to be as precise as possible.
Use references, such as;
-
The size of a dime
-
The size of a pencil eraser
Avoid using references that range in size, such as;
-
The size of a persons hand
-
It's really big
