Objective:
To report the development of a nursing consultation software for hypertensive users of the Family Health Strategy.
Method:
Applied methodological research based on Roger Pressman's Software Engineering, developed in three cycles: planning, composed of the definition of the database prototyping and modelling; development of the navigation interface; and development of functional expressions and programming.
Result:
The software consists of administrative and nursing consultation screens. In the history, there is the option of undertaking the first and next consultation; nursing diagnoses are suggested by the system after entering information and can be selected by nurses. Interventions for diagnoses are suggested and can be chosen by nurses after structuring the medical plan.
Conclusion:
It is believed that the introduction of computer technology for nursing consultation brings several contributions, such as standardization, integration with different information systems, and continuous update.

qualitative descriptive study under the Black-African paradigm of civilization constituted by the Black-African cultural complex and the structuring elements of the African cosmovision. Semi-structured interviews were carried out from July to September 2013, with six black older people from a terreiro community in Porto Alegre, RS.
Results:
thematic content analysis resulted in the following categories: Ancestry; Belonging: the way to know and practice health; Health knowledge and practices in terreiro communities; and Complementarity: promoting health in the terreiro and traditional medicine and its respective subcategories.
Conclusion:
the study understood the importance of having a knowledge of the practices of African traditions in both the lifestyle and health of the older black population to help with nursing planning and interventions in response to their needs.
