PURPOSE Determine the outcomes and interventions for patients undergoing cardiac catheterization with nursing diagnosis of impaired tissue integrity. METHODS Survey with e‐questionnaires sent for expert nurses in two rounds. FINDINGS Only one nursing outcome was approved: tissue integrity—skin and mucosa and five related interventions, namely, pressure control, topical drug administration, care of incision site, care of injuries, and infection control. CONCLUSIONS The expected outcomes and the most significant interventions for the implementation of nursing care during the immediate recovery of patients with impaired tissue integrity following invasive hemodynamic procedures were defined. IMPLICATIONS FOR NURSING PRACTICE The study findings support selection of appropriate nursing outcomes and interventions for this patient profile.
