“…Medicines that can be delivered by nurses include antibiotics, analgesics, antiinflammatory agents and bronchodilators. The evolution of the use of Patient Group Directions by nurses in Brazil coincides with the growth of the availability of health care services and the public's lack of access to medical professionals in many areas in primary health care, in a context of reduction of expenditure on health care (Oguisso and Freitas, 2007). Whilst improvement in care for patients and better use of nurses' skills has ostensibly driven the expansion of prescribing in countries such as the UK, in Brazil, like other countries such as Canada and Australia, forces external to the nursing profession have motivated the introduction of prescription by nurses.…”

This entire transformation has formed the basis for the changes in education in nursing, in order to meet the principles which guide the SUS (Unified Health System), which emphasizes the importance of the different types of professional training in health care.…”

“…Otra faceta importante de la enfermería, frente a los medicamentos, es la que surge de la evolución y crecimiento de la profesión ante las necesidades del sistema público de sanidad en Brasil: la prescripción de medicamentos 8 . Esta práctica respaldada por ley federal y circulares del Ministerio de Sanidad 9,10,11 , no consiste solo en indicar un medicamento referido en un protocolo de acuerdo con el cuadro clínico que el paciente presenta, se trata de una actividad compleja que incluye monitoreo respecto a los efectos terapéuticos de la droga, posibles efectos adversos e interacción entre medicaciones 12 .…”
