Abstract

The objective was to identify the main
nursing diagnoses used by experts in the emergency area.
A descriptive study was undertaken at an emergency
service between June and November 2011. The Delphi
technique was used to reach a consensus among seven
professionals from different Brazilian institutions about the
prevailing nursing diagnoses at emergency care services. A
consensus was reached on the following nursing diagnoses:
Impaired gas exchange, Ineffective breathing pattern,
Impaired spontaneous ventilation, Risk for infection, Risk
for impaired skin integrity, Impaired tissue integrity and
Risk for falls. In conclusion, the Delphi technique showed
to be a great facilitator to reach a consensus about the
prevailing nursing diagnoses at emergency care services
related to the “safety and protection”, “activity and rest”
and “elimination and exchange” domains of the North
American Nursing Diagnosis Association.
