Although to fulfill its job as a monitoring tool for the child’s health status, it is important that the professional make the right and complete record of the information. Goal: Simplify the scientific know ledge of Nursing, between the years of 2005 and 2015, looking for evidences about the record of the nursing actions in the child’s health booklet.

As a strategy in the search it was used a crossing descriptor “child health” with “primary attention to health; nursing; immunization; and child’s health booklet”.
