ABSTRACT:
The present invention comprises a preprinted chart, or, in the case of software, a programmed screen display, on which is displayed front and back silhouettes of a patient. Alongside the silhouettes are provided a number of series of icons which illustrate various patient conditions, such as burn, cut, bruise, etc. with at least some of the icon series being color coded to indicate pain intensity. The icons can be moved to the silhouettes. In an alternative version, the chart can be folded in half with the bottom half inserted into a transparent plastic sleeve and the top half folded over the bottom half to provide confidentiality. Other chart embodiments include a small, portable patient dietary guideline chart, a tactile pain communicator with touch coded pain intensity indicators and a group therapy emotional pain communicator.
