ABSTRACT
The evaluation of the critically ill patient to develop a suitable care plan is one of the main objectives of the practices of Medico-Surgery for students of third year of the nursing degree. So as to be able to detect all the needs in the patients and settle priorities in their care we have carried out a physical evaluation and the 11 health functional patterns of Gordon (1982), which has allowed us to formulate the most frequent diagnosis of nursing in the patients hospitalized in the Intensive Care Units of the Hospital Son Dureta of Palma de Mallorca. The collection of data for the evaluation of the patterns of autoperception, adaptation to stress and to the family, has been scarce due to the critical situation of the patient and the tendency of nursing professionals to register the evaluation data which indicate alterations of the physical condition of the patient. The incapacity for self-care and the risk for infection have been the nursing diagnosis which all the patients of this study have shown.

Seventy-seven samples of healthy and diseased vulvar epithelium (one per patient) were processed using the carbon-coated-dextran biochemical technique. The results were analyzed according to Scatchard or the unique point technique. The samples of normal tissue were obtained from patients who underwent surgical procedures for different gynecologic pathologies. The samples of diseased tissue were obtained with punch biopsy from patients with several vulvar disorders. Ten samples were obtained from the episiotomy wound in pregnant patients during labor. Estrogen receptors were assayed in all cases. Progesterone receptors were assayed simultaneously in 73 of the cases. The minimum concentration considered positive was 2 fmol/mg of protein. A map of the vulvar region was drawn, and samples were obtained from different sites whenever possible.
