Objective:
to analyze the accuracy measurements of clinical indicators of the nursing diagnosis Ineffective airway clearance.
Method:
cross-sectional study with 205 asthmatic children treated in the emergency unit of a hospital in the city of Fortaleza, Ceará. An interview script and pulmonary evaluation were used for data collection.
Results:
the diagnosis of Ineffective airway clearance was present in 89.3% of the sample. The most prevalent clinical indicators were dyspnea, change in respiratory rate, change in respiratory rhythm, orthopnea, adventitious respiratory sounds and ineffective cough. The clinical indicators with highest sensitivity were dyspnea, change in respiratory rate, change in respiratory rhythm, orthopnea and adventitious respiratory sounds. Ineffective cough and adventitious respiratory sounds were the indicators with best specifi city.
Conclusion:

Objective:
to analyze the factors related to the structure, process and outcomes of organ and tissue donation for transplantation.
Method:
analytic, longitudinal and quantitative study, conducted in six hospitals in Natal/RN, between August 2010 and February 2011, with 65 potential donors (PD), by means of no participant observation structured script.
Results:
regarding the donation structure, there was deficiencies of physical resources (temperature control), materials (mobile radiology) human resources (nurse technicians) and lack of adequate records and care protocols. In the process of donation, the biggest problems were related to the evaluation stages, brain death diagnosis, maintenance and documentation, with greater proportion of care for the non-donor.
Conclusion:
the structure and process possibly determined the result of 72.3% no donation implementation of potential donors, indices compatible with the national data, but contradictory to those of Spain, which manages to transplant organs of 86.7% of its donors.

Objective:
to assess whether dietary intake of patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) meets national and international recommendations and whether there is a relationship with the levels of stress.
Method:

Results:
daily intake above the recommendations: cholesterol (92%), fiber (42.7%) and protein (68%); intake below the recommendations: potassium (88%) and carbohydrates (68.7%); intake according to the recommendations: sodium (53.3%) and lipids (53.3%). Most patients with inadequate dietary intake (54%) were stressed or highly stressed. There was a signifi cant association between a lower stress level and a higher fi ber intake.
Conclusion:
in patients with ACS, dietary intake did not meet the guideline recommendations, and a lower fi ber intake occurs concomitantly with higher stress levels. Educational efforts can support patients in dietary intake adequacy and stress control.
