Abstract

In order to identify the nursing interventions most prescribed for hospitalized elderly, according to their level of dependence for Activity of Daily Living (ADL), we analyzed 51 elderlies admitted to a geriatric ward belonging to a large hospital in São Paulo, after informed consent. It was observed that 51% of subjects had severe dependence and the most significantly prescribed interventions were related to mobility, bathing and safety of the patient.
