Abstract

This study aimed to identify the applicability of NIC priority interventions to the diagnosis ineffective Airway clearance in a pediatric intensive care unit (PICU), where the nursing process and NANDA’s nursing diagnoses are adopted. The method used was the case study. The nurses spontaneously listed the activities they developed and analyzed whether they performed additional activities according to NIC taxonomy. The authors observed that in the PICU were performed 84.6% of the Respiratory Monitoring activities, 80.0% of the Airway Management intervention activities and 36.4% of the activities regarding Cough Enhancement intervention. The conclusion was that the majority of the interventions studied are performed in the PICU and that NIC can give nurses the opportunity to identify potentialities and needs as well as to improve the quality of the care delivered.
