Objectives: The study’s purpose has been to build Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) for nursing care while performing diagnostic exams in secondary health care. Methods: A committee for Nursing Care Systematization (NCS) was then established, which assessed the sectors in which new diagnostic technologies were being implemented and raised the need for training of the technical team that performed these tests to standardize procedures, then reducing errors and failures in its realization. The SOPs were described through tables comprised by the following: definition of the diagnostic procedure, necessary material, nursing interventions and special care. Results: Four SOPs were elaborated, related to the exams of spirometry, polysomnography, retinography and hydrogen breath test. Conclusion: It was possible not only to know the execution of the exams, but also to understand the applicability of NCS with a focus on diagnostic technologies, besides providing subsidies for future implementation of NCS in the study institution.
