Data analysis was performed using the Content Validity Index, considering appropriate > 0.80%. Results: the care listed to compose the narrative were: skin assessment; keeping the skin clean and hydrated; use of pressure redistribution devices; use of silicone foams, transparent films, barrier-forming spray and silicone on bony prominences, under medical devices and on the face.

Conclusion: the graphic narrative was valid for expert nurses whose emphasis is on preventive care in order to promote the engagement of the Nursing team in the face of the importance of Pressure Injury prevention in the care of patients with Coronavirus and prone.
