Abstract

Objective:

Methods:

The exploratory, descriptive and quantitative research was undertaken between March and May 2013, with 47 nursing professionals at two hospital emergency units in the state of Paraná, Brazil, who answered the questionnaire.

Results:

Acceptance of Risk-classified Cases was reported hazardous at the two units; the lowest rates refer to issues on the place the accompanying person would stay and to discussions on the flowchart. The best assessment occurred in the attendance of less serious cases.

Conclusion:

The hazardous assessment at the two health units was mainly due to the non-compliance with certain basic principles of its guidelines of the Acceptance of Risk-classified Cases.
