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:
the clinical indicator adventitious respiratory sounds was the best predictor of Ineffective airway clearance in asthmatic children treated in emergency units.

Objective:
to describe the mortality from external causes, by Health Regions in Pernambuco, during the periods of2001-2003 and 2011-2013.
Method:
descriptive study with data from the Mortality Information System. For data analysis we used percentage, percentage variation and proportion ratio.

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.

to learn coordinators and professors’ conceptions from undergraduate Nursing courses of public universities in northern Brazil regarding collective health and to know the necessary competencies to work in the area.
Method:
data were collected through semi-structured interviews and subjected to thematic analysis.
Results:
the participants consider population health as an essential area for the training of nurses, where professionals have autonomy and confidence. It is an interdisciplinary, intersectoral and multidisciplinary field, with extensive scope, that studies the Unified Health System (SUS). The competencies to work in collective health identified were: to work at the SUS, to understand the health and disease process and its determinants and to develop actions towards integrality, to conduct health education, researches and systematization of the nursing care.
Conclusion:
the variety of conceptions about collective health among participants might reflect in training of nurses and their working area.

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:
a cross-sectional study with 150 patients with ACS, who were interviewed with the Food Frequency Questionnaire and the Perceived Stress Scale-10.
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.

Objective:
to present the concept of needs according to different approaches to discuss the possibility of health care that incorporates a broader view of human vulnerabilities in health services.
Methods:
the arguments are founded on nursing theorists who worked on the construction of frameworks relevant to care, based on needs and on philosophers who show the possibility of identifying the vulnerabilities of human beings, defending art as a therapeutic instrument that can promote health care.
Conclusion:
although care can acquire a new dimension with the introduction of art, according to certain perspectives, philosophical studies on ethics and aesthetics should be resumed to identify human vulnerabilities that can in fact be compensated by sensible understanding of the outer world. To incorporate art in nursing care requires studies from theorists to be recovered, deepening concepts and working on empirical investigations for their adequate use.

Objectives:
analyze gender inequalities among Brazilian women in Portugal and in contemporary nursing based on care politicity in the light of gender; disclose oppression of the female produced by the stereotypes that look upon women as natural caregivers; point out politicity to deconstruct gender stereotypes.
Method:
theoretical reflection with narrative review of literature to analyze classic references in the feminist epistemology combined with the care politicity thesis.
Results:
the similarities between the stereotypes of the Brazilian Eves and the Portuguese Maries as either the sexualized or sanctified nurse are inserted in the Jewish-Christian moral genealogy that reaffirms the subservience of the female to the male.
Conclusion:
by attaching priority to care that needs non-care to expand the possibilities of care giving, the theoretical assumption of politicy of care can contribute to subvert the stereotypical images of Brazilian women in Portuguese lands and in contemporary nursing.

Results:
the practice is admittedly beneficial to participants despite the fact they do not understand its true objectives and therapeutic applications. Participants only associate it with something distracting and entertaining without realizing the occurrence of a more complex process behind it, which comprises changes besides the emotional ones (more easily perceived).
Conclusion:
the perceptions of participants reinforce recommendations that can be applied in the hospital environment, also showing that the therapy in question can become an effective technology to promote the health of children and adolescents with cancer.
