Abstract

A descriptive study aiming to describe a nursing consultation protocol tested for patients after myocardial revascularization. The protocol is implemented in a hospital cardiac unit, has goals that must be achieved during the consultation period or in between. For reaching each goal, it has been established that nursing actions should be implemented by the nurse, displayed in three tables: Strategies for nursing consultation related to the first care; Strategies for nursing consultations related to the second, third and forth nursing visits; Strategies for nursing consultations related to the fifth nursing visit, referring to the sixth month after surgery. It is believed that the implementation of the protocol allows a systematic evaluation of the patient, raising their real problems, for planning and implementation of nursing interventions, especially those related to behavioral changes.
