Objectives: to develop a protocol for Nursing Process operationalization in approaching older adults with vulnerability to chronic kidney disease in Primary Health Care, based on Neuman's stressors.
Methods: a methodological study, carried out in two stages: 1) synthesis of evidence using an inductive strategy (mixed method study) and 2) protocol development to support the nursing process operationalization with older adults enrolled in a Basic Health Unit, using a deductive strategy (Neuman's stressor concepts, NANDA, NIC, and NOC taxonomies, Risner's line of reasoning, and cross-mapping), described according to A Step-by-Step Guide to Developing Protocols.
Results: 102 older adults participated, and 17 diagnoses, 34 interventions and 26 nursing outcomes were identified.
The objective of this study was to evaluate the Theory of Professional Bonds from the description and analysis steps of Meleis' theory evaluation model. This is a theoretical, analytical, and philosophical study, with the collection of manuscripts through literature review to deepen knowledge regarding the origin, the theoretical and philosophical frameworks, and the practical application of the Theory of Professional Bonds. The study was developed in two steps: procedures for the evaluation using the model proposed by Meleis' and procedures for validation of the evaluation using the Delphi strategy and the Likert scale.

Method: cohort study with 110 patients. Scales were used to assess and document phlebitis and infiltration.
Objective: To understand the symbolic elements and the hierarchical system of representations of elderly people on falls, according to Abric's structural analysis and Neuman's theory.
