Description
Summary:Objective: To identify in the literature the complications caused by the patient with a nursing diagnosis: altered sensory perception, the importance of prevention for the risk of injury and the role of the nurse in the care of patients with altered sensory perception. Methods: This is a descriptive and qualitative research and the type of study used was bibliographical from existing material available in the Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde (BVS). Results: The results reveal 10 publications identified and analyzed by the thematic analysis technique, in which three categories of analysis emerged: Impacts caused to a patient diagnosed by nursing with altered sensory perception; Relationship between sensory perception and risk of injury in intensive care patients and the role of the nurse in the implementation of preventive measures to patients with altered sensory perception. Conclusion: Through this study, the diagnosis of altered sensory perception is directly related to the risk of pressure injury in critical patients in Intensive Care Units, due to the patient's cognitive limitations to the point of not being able to identify, identify or communicate any discomfort in relation to the body pressure exerted on the bed.
