This study aimed to identify the nursing
diagnoses presented by patients in the immediate postoperative period following elective surger y, and to propose
nursing interventions. It is a quantitative, exploratory and
descriptive study. It involved 27 patients receiving inpatient
treatment in the surgical department of a university
hospital in the south of Brazil, of both sexes, who were
in the immediate postoperative period, in March – April
2011; and who did not present complications or need to
be re-operated on. Using Risner’s model of diagnostic
reasoning, seven North American Nursing Diagnosis
Association diagnoses were identified. A total of 62
nursing interventions, based in the Nursing Interventions
Classification, which could lead to a reduction in harm to
these specific patients, were proposed. The interventions,
grounded in the diagnoses, allow the nurse to work with
autonomy and to provide individualized care, based in
the factors reported and in the defining characteristics
identified.
