The Regulation for the Professional Practice of Nurses determines, in paragraph 6 of article 9 that “nurses contribute in the exercise of their activity in the area of management, research, teaching, training and advice, for the improvement and evolution of the provision of services nursing care".
In this context, the practice of nursing in extra-hospital emergencies is crucial to ensure effective and integral support to the person, at any stage of the life cycle, family and community, in a situation of sudden illness, trauma, crisis or catastrophe, from the place from the emergency to the reference health unit, ensuring continuity of care. It constitutes an effective component for obtaining health gains, namely the decrease in the mortality rate and the decrease in the morbidity rate. It is intended that this be an important contribution, which in an integrated and integrative perspective and inserted in a process of professional development and enhancement, develops and consolidates additional differentiated skills.
