Objective: To analyze the nursing diagnosis focusing on the problem and risks documented in clinical practice by nurses caring of patients in Intensive Care Unit. Methods: Quantitative, transversal, documentary and descriptive study. 122 medical records were selected in the medical file sector, by simple random sampling, with a significance level of 99%, over a one-year time frame, 2016 to 2017. Medical records with a history and diagnosis filled out by nurses from the Intensive Care Unit or by nursing students signed by the responsible nurse were chosen in the first 24 hours after the patients' admission. Medical records with erasures and / or absence of pages in their chronological sequence were excluded. Results: 809 titles of nursing diagnosis were identified, of these 375 (46.3%) with a focus on risks and 434 (53.7%) with a focus on the problem. The diagnosis stood out with the highest percentages: unbalanced nutrition, less than body needs (98.4%); deficit in self-care (96.7%); risk of infection (92.6%); impaired gas exchange (71.3%); risk of impaired skin integrity (54.9%). Conclusions: The identification of nursing diagnosis in the Intensive Care Unit enables nurses to recognize the demands of everyday care, for planning and decision making focused, resolutive and effective in intensive care.

Acute pain is one of the main reasons for seeking the emergency services being considered a true public health problem and featuring a valuable symptom in research and definition of the patient’s diagnosis. Thus this study aimed to understand the acute pain evolution, the patient hospitalized at the Emergency Unit, a South Teaching Hospital of the country, using the Verbal Numeric Pain Scale; and to evaluate and control acute pain patients using the instrument proposed by McCaffery and Beebe. This was a study with a quantitative, cross-sectional, descriptive approach. The collection was held at the Emergency Unit from the South Teaching Hospital in Brazil, from July to September 2012, with a convenience sample of 24 adult patients admitted to the emergency room with pain complaints (Opinion no. 2023/2012). The high intensity pain wasthe main reason in the emergency demand. Simple analgesics were the most used, followed by opioids and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory hormone. The instrument helped the nurse concerning the record of the events and the evolution of the clinical signals regarding the pain. However, there were weaknesses in their use. It is hoped that this research encourage nurses to develop and validate the Brazilian instruments, feasible for the dynamics of our reality, but also that theymonitor and evaluate the acute pain patients in emergency units and protocols that optimize care nursing, which is provided for the individual with painful problem in the emergency departments.

The evidence-based practice is an approach focused on research findings in clinical practice, with an integrative review. Thus, this study aimed at describing the scientific production of nursing diagnoses assigned to patients in the postoperative period in the last six years. For the selection of articles, the database of Latin American Literature in Health Sciences (LILACS), from January 2006 until March 2012 was used. Five articles were selected in three stages: reading the titles, the abstracts, and those available in their entirety in the electronic media. The following nursing diagnoses were found: Risk for infection, self-care deficit bathing and pain. It is concluded that the production of articles that deal with the theme Nursing Diagnoses for patients in the postoperative period is small, in Brazil and absent in Latin America and the Caribbean during the period investigated. There is need for further research, with emphasis on nursing diagnoses for patients in the postoperative period, not only to meet the new legislation regarding the Systematization of Nursing Care, but also because the professional nurse is a major contributor in the initial care of these patients and requires tools that enhance this individualized care.
