This study reports on the implementation of a continuing education activity on the Emergency Cart for nursing professionals from an inpatient unit in a medical clinic. Regarding the role of the nurse, a recent care protocol mentions the nurse as responsible for organizing, checking and replenishing the emergency cart. The aim is to ensure the availability of materials and medications necessary for emergency patient care, maintain standardization in relation to the quantity of materials and medications, avoiding waste and shortages, ensure the quality and effectiveness of care through the professionals’ knowledge of the materials arranged in the cart, thus protecting the patient from unnecessary harm due to disorganization or lack of supplies necessary for emergency care, improving the organization and work process of the team. In this context, carrying out continuing education is a strategy that can help nursing professionals develop knowledge based on meaningful learning and the possibility of transforming care practices.
