non pressure ulcers

== When to use the ''generic'' dx ==
Use the generic entry when one of the following is true: 
* the wound was not assessed
* there was insufficient info in the chart to determine stage

== When to use the Unstageable dx ==
Wound bed can't be seen so true stage can't be determined.
