Objective: To identify the most frequent clinical signs and symptoms and nursing diagnoses in patients in the immediate postoperative period of bariatric surgery. Methods: Observational study. Data collection was performed by two examiners and included epidemiological, social, clinical and physical examination. The presence and frequency of clinical signs and symptoms were recorded and led to the development of nursing diagnoses, according to the NANDA-I taxonomy 2018-2020. Results: 50 patients participated, being predominantly female, aged between 30-39 years and monthly income of 1.0 to 1.5 salaries. 80% of patients report having a family history of obesity. The 16 most frequent clinical signs and symptoms and the 16 nursing diagnoses were raised, with emphasis on the diagnostic titles: risks of infection and dysfunctional gastrointestinal motility. Conclusion: The present study identified the most frequent nursing signs and symptoms and also nursing diagnoses of patients in the immediate postoperative period of bariatric surgery, in addition to surveying important sociodemographic, epidemiological and clinical history data. These findings favor the implementation of the nursing process by facilitating the nurse's diagnostic reasoning. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Ojective: to characterize the profile of hospitalized patients in the pediatric ward and to identify the most prevalent Nursing Diagnoses, according to the NANDA-I taxonomy. Methodology: descriptive study based on medical records of 100 patients. Variables such as: age, gender, patient classification system, clinical and nursing diagnosis were considered. The Rcommander® program was used to perform the exploratory analysis and tests of non-parametric hypotheses, being considered level of significance of 5%. Results: predominance of males (71%), mean age of 7.32 years, Intermediate Care (49%) was the most frequent, Pediatrics was the clinic with the greatest number of hospitalizations (39%), 44 medical and 46 nursing diagnoses, of which 27 were considered as preponderant. Conclusion: the accomplishment of the situational diagnosis allows a guiding character for the other stages of the Nursing Process and directs care actions, contributing to the continuous improvement of quality and safety of care.

Introduction: Universalizing the language used by nurses will allow greater visibility for the profession; however, the Systematization of Nursing Assistance (SAE) in Primary Health Care (PHC) is still incipient. Among its phases, there are elements that require proper nomenclature. Objectives: To analyze existing nomenclatures and their potential for use in PHC. Methodology: Critical review of literature on nursing nomenclatures in Brazil: NANDA-I / NIC / NOC, CIPE / CIPESC and CIAP. Results: The nomenclatures searched are individuals / family / community. They focus on "problems" or "needs" and not just on clinical diagnosis of diseases. NANDA-I / NIC / NOC and CIPE / CIPESC does not have the potential to communicate with other professional categories, which constitutes a problem in the scope of PHC. The nomenclatures traditionally used by nursing had their application more focused on the hospital practice, except for CIPESC and CIAP. Conclusions: the literature reveals a lack of consensus regarding the potential of applying these nomenclatures for nursing use in PHC. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Objectives: To develop a nursing care instrument to guide the care of children and adolescents with cancer in palliative care in the Pediatric Oncology Intensive Care Center.

Nursing records were analyzed in the medical records of children and adolescents, for the elaboration of a care instrument containing nursing history, based on the four dimensions of palliative care, diagnoses, interventions and their expected results. Results: an instrument was elaborated according to the Nursing Process, containing a history in addition to the NANDA-I-NIC-NOC link. Conclusion: this instrument aims to serve as a basis for nurses to perform the nursing process for children and adolescents in palliative care admitted to the Pediatric Oncology Intensive Care Center, as it is scientifically proven to be effective in improving the quality of nursing care.
