Purpose: To present via charts, the nursing care of 15.204 hospitalized adult clients with chronic or severe diseases. Methodo: Quantitative research carried out in a 527-bed hospital, with data collection using the nursing notes. RESULTS: Care movement; client conditions; client situations; the care that took place was one from the moment the client checked in to the moment he checked out of the hospital. Conclusion: The data consolidate what observed in the Hospital Routine: that the recovery of the client is not over within the possibilities of attention and balance of the organic ills predicted by the cure of these subjects, based on the model which identifies the cure as well as the pathology as the main references. From the total number of patients, a great number were able to leave the hospital, which shows the impact/result of the care received during their recovery, and a complex network in a continuous and daily chain in those three axis.
