Objective:
to investigate the association between gait speed and the cognitive score of elderly patients enrolled in a Basic Health Unit.
Method:
a quantitative cross-sectional study with 203 elderly, a sample calculated based on the estimated population proportion. Data were collected using a sociodemographic and clinical questionnaire, gait speed test (GS) and the Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE).
Results:
the illiterate patients had a mean MMSE=19.33(±3.7) and GS = 0.76m/s (±0.3); those with low/medium education had a MMSE = 25.43(±2.8) and GS = 0.92m/s (±0.2); and the elderly with higher education had a MMSE = 27.33(±2.9) and GS=1.12m/s (±0.3).There was a weak correlation (R2=00354) between gait speed and cognitive score, with statistical significance (Prob>F = 0.0072) and a positive linear trend.
Conclusion:
the better cognitive score the higher the gait speed; the illiterate elderly were those with lower gait speed, thereby indicating a poorer physical performance.

Objective:
to identify self-care measures to manage fluid and dietary restrictions and assess their effectiveness.
Method:
descriptive-correlational study and cluster analysis with 254 chronic renal failure patients on regular hemodialysis program, handled by hemodiafiltration. We evaluated the effectiveness of self-care by interdialytic weight gain (IWG) and by potassium and phosphorus serum pre-dialysis serum levels.
Results:
several self-care measures were significantly correlated with a lower IWG and a lower level of pre-dialysis phosphorus. Patients most often use measures to reduce salt consumption than measures to restrict potassium and dietary phosphorus. The spouse provides important support dietary management. Subjects who use more often the self-care measure are mostly female, are older, less IWG and have a higher Kt/V.
Conclusion:
these results can contribute to the nursing educational support.

Objectives:
to analyze nursing vulnerability through photos released by the media amidst the COVID-19 pandemic.
Methods:
a documentary study, with a qualitative approach. The object of analysis were photographic images selected between January 2020 and March 2021, published by the main news portals in countries such as Brazil, the United States, France, Spain, England and Germany. Thematic categorical analysis was the method of analysis used.
Results:
we found 74 photographs that portrayed nursing professionals in different work situations. It was possible to identify stigma and social devaluation about this class’s representation and professional attribution. Moreover, we found an underrepresentation of black professionals in Brazilian portals and the man as the prominent figure in the spaces of claims.
Final Considerations:
the photographs represented an important tool for the social analysis of nursing vulnerability, favoring the unveiling of situations that may go unnoticed by nursing and society.

Objective:
To identify and map the technological tools of information and communication to support the teaching learning process in Nursing teaching courses.
Methods:
This is a scoping review whose search was carried out in seven databases and in grey literature. After an initial analysis of the selection, 88 texts were read integrally, and 29 made up the final sample.
Results:
Virtual learning environment and object, simulation, hypermedia, and software or cellphone applications were the tools the nursing professors used the most. Studies highlight that the application of technology was important in the teaching-learning process, since it encouraged teaching based on safe care, motivating and developing abilities/competences, supported on significant, effective, flexible, and autonomous learning.
Conclusion:
The contribution of the technology for nursing formation stands out, but it should be highlighted that its employment must be critical, reflective, based on pedagogical theories and developed by trained professors.
