The objective of the present study was to identify the frequency of nursing diagnoses and care regarding the placement and maintenance of nasoenteral tubes. A prospective cohort study was carried out with adults in the emergency unit of a teaching hospital in Southern Brazil from April to July 2015. The patients were followed up from the indication to the use of nasoenteral tubes. Medical records were revised to identify nursing diagnoses and care within 24 hours after the procedure. Of the 150 tube placement procedures, 20.7% (n=31) had some related nursing diagnosis. “Imbalanced nutrition: less than the body requirements” was the most common diagnosis (n=22, 71%). In 64 (42.7%) of the procedures, there was prescription of at least one care. “Implementing care with NET” was prescribed 41 times, isolated or combined. A greater proportion of care was found when there were implemented nursing diagnoses (p<0.001). Although the use of nasoenteral tubes demands special care, the implementation of nursing diagnoses and care in emergency services is still low.
