Abstract
Objective: to describe experiences in nursing consultations in Primary Health Care in the care of persons with symptoms of COVID-19. Method: this is a qualitative, descriptive, experience report study. Nursing consultations were held between May and November 2020 at a Basic Health Unit in a capital in the south of Brazil. Results: consultations took place in person and/or as teleconsultation. Through the theory of Basic Human Needs and care protocols, biopsychosocial needs were identified and nursing interventions were carried out. Nursing diagnoses were identified according to the International Classification for Nursing Practice. Conclusion: the use of care protocols supporting nursing consultations enabled greater professional autonomy, highlighting the role of the nurse in the user's access to the health system and in the resoluteness of the Primary Care in the pandemic context.
