Abstract

This work concerns a descriptive research with a qualitative approach which aimed to identify nursing diagnoses in high-risk pregnant women based on Orem's self-care theory. The following nursing diagnoses were identified: deficit of liquid volume, anxiety, altered family process, handicapped communication, handicapped physical mobility, among others.
