PROPOSAL OF INDEPENDENT NURSING ACTIONS FOR PATIENT CARE IN THE DEPARTMENT OF INTERVENTIONAL CARDIOLOGY

摘要

Nursing, in general, is a constant in history that emerges with its own independent nature1. According to Amaro Cano2, Collière stated that nurses ensure the continuity of life through their care practices in the face of disease and, in the worst case, in the face of death.The nursing practice goes back to several centuries ago. The rules and procedures that govern it have un-dergone multiple variations, since the time of Florence Nightingale2,3, who founded the first school of nursing. Her system quickly spread throughout the world be-cause it is indispensable a qualified staff which can carry out the techniques that are needed to restore health. Hence, in 1952, Hildergan described nursing as an interpersonal process2. With the use of different theories and nursing models this staff is able to per-form procedures and actions that are classified as dependent or independent ones4. These actions are intended to alleviate, improve and solve the problem of the patient in the shortest possible time.
