Objective:
to develop and validate a short guide for the protocol to user embracement with risk classification in pediatrics.
Method:
methodological study developed in two stages: development of the guide, and face and content validation. The development involved the stratification of the protocol contents into five risk indicators according to the level of complexity; subsequently it was submitted to validation by nine experts divided in two groups: professors who were also researchers, and nurses.
Results:
in the face validation the experts considered the 25 items of the guide clear and understandable, with agreement levels above 70%. In the content validation, 17 (68%) items were considered relevant by 88.9% of the experts. The eight items considered irrelevant were changed according to suggestions of the experts, yielding an overall content validity index of 0.98.
Conclusion:
the study resulted in a guide for the classification of risks in pediatrics that is valid to assess children in emergency services.

Objective:
to identify key components of the social learning theory in a computational tool to aid in teaching the reasoning process for the preparation of a nursing diagnosis.
Method:
qualitative study that analyzed the statements collected through a focus group of 18 teachers and students from two Brazilian nursing schools.
Results:
the themes were grouped into four categories related to the components of the theory and into 13 subcategories.
Conclusion:
the meaning of learning can be extended by the teacher’s didactics and corroborated by the relationship between systematization and reasoning. To learn by doing, some prerequisites are required as is a process of motivation and qualification, which are also inherent to learning by forming an identity in the group. In the feeling of belonging to a particular group, aspects related to the profession become visible as opposed to the aspects of belonging to a community of practice of learning.

Objective:
to understand the experience of care of people with venous ulcers using an Unna’s boot.
Method:
a qualitative study, based on the social phenomenology by Alfred Schütz, was carried out with 12 adults interviewed in 2015. The statements were analyzed and organized in thematic categories.
Results:
the following categories emerged: “Unna’s boot annoyance versus wound improvement”, “Difficulties for accessing care with the Unna’s boot”, “Care for healing and preventing recurrence”, and “Receiving more attention from the healthcare professional”.
Conclusion:
the experience of care of people using an Unna’s boot revealed the annoyance caused by this device, which was overcome due to the wound improvement. However, access to care was compromised by the lack of structure at the service, frustrating the patients’ expectations regarding wound healing. The issues of these people’s intersubjective universe should be considered in the management of care of venous ulcers.

Objective:
to know the time between indication and use of a nasoenteral tube (NET) and factors associated with delays.
Method:
A prospective cohort study that followed adults in a Brazilian emergency department, since the indication of the use of a NET, evaluating clinical variables and the work process. The Generalized Estimated Equations model was adopted to identify factors associated with the delays in each stage of the process.
Results:
the time between indication and use of NET was 573 (IQR: 3601,093) minutes, in 150 insertions of NET. Insertions in patients who previously did not use it; delays in the medical, nutrition, and nursing care routine; use of mechanical ventilation; noradrenaline; and fasting were factors for longer time before the use of the tube.
Conclusion:
the time between indication and use of NET was high, exceeding 10 hours in half of the cases. Factors related to the clinical condition of the patient and to the care management would contribute to delays.
