International Journal of Nursing Knowledge 2018 Februrary 29
PURPOSE: To select outcomes from the Nursing Outcomes Classification (NOC) to evaluate impaired tissue integrity in patients undergoing orthopedic surgeries, and develop conceptual and operational definitions for their indicators.

FINDINGS: Wound Healing: Primary intention (1102) with two indicators: (110214) Scar formation, and (110201) Skin approximation were selected. Four indicators were grouped to evaluate inflammatory signs together with foul wound odor and six for drainage.
CONCLUSIONS: These indicators direct the outcomes evaluation for wound healing.
IMPLICATIONS FOR NURSING PRACTICE: Support to the definition the priority interventions in nursing process documentation.
