Due to structural changes of classifications: ICNP® beta-2, version 1.0 and CIPESC®, this descriptive study aims to identify similarities and differences by building a map between the terms of the focus of practice. The ICNP® 1.0 on the beta-2 shows: 41% are new terms, 33% identical, 4% with expanded concepts, 12% modified; 8% different and 2% there are concepts only in beta-2. The ICNP® 1.0 in relation to CIPESC® presents: 79% are new; 8% identical; 1% extended; 5% modified; 4% different and 3% without concept. There were difficulties from the process of Brazilian translating and publishing of ICNP® 1.0 and the absence of some concepts in terms of CIPESC®. This work will trigger the validation process for non equivalent terms.
