[Obstetric nursing in prenatal consultation].
This study consists of a report about a research project which started in August, 1997. The project involved teachers from the maternal-paediatrics department with Faculdade de Enfermagem--UERJ (Nursing Faculty with State University of Rio de Janeiro) and professionals from the municipal health center in Rio de Janeiro--SMS/RJ. The introduction of prenatal nursing consultation as a new subject in the nursing graduation course, as well as its formation, and implementation in the referred municipal health center is reported in this paper. This study also proposes a review of the current biomedical consultation model, in order to motivate reflection, break paradigms, and increase the prenatal consultation process in Rio de Janeiro.
