http://dx.doi.org/10.5902/217976929069 Aim: to identify the knowledge of nurses in a clinical unit on family care protocol for dengue and to describe the difficulties encountered by nurses in applying the protocol dengue. Method: this is a field research with a descriptive qualitative approach. Data collection was performed on a unit Family Clinic, located in Jardim Novo, in the State of Rio de Janeiro. The subjects were 6 nurses who make up the staff of that unit. Results: after collection, the data were grouped and analyzed their content in order to achieve the proposed objectives, defining two categories of analysis: difficulties expressed and contradictory thoughts. Conclusion: confirm existing knowledge of protocols, but the service is often automated, besides the obvious lack of difference between the Ministry of Health and Rio de Janeiro.
