Abstract
Objective: To identify in the literature the nursing care in the care of the sequential victim of Cerebral Vascular Accident. Methods: This is a literary review to identify diagnoses and nursing assistence suitable for patients affected by stroke. The search of the materials took place in indexed detabases, such as PubMed, Scielo and Google Academic, using the descriptors: Cerebral Vascular Accident, Diagnosis of Nursing, Nursing Assistance and Care. Results: The final sample consisted of 13 publications published between 2012 and 2019. Final Considerations: Through this study, it was evident the importance of the care provided by the nurse and his team in the care of the stroke patient. Studies on nursing diagnoses are necessary for better scientific knowledge in nursing, better basing nursing interventions aimed at controlling satisfactory results, guiding evidence-based care plans, enabling a promotion of well-being and quality of life for patients with stroke.
