title: [A return to reason. The problematic of the construction of knowing how to discipline by means of nursing diagnoses].
abstract: This article is adapted from a conference paper in which some ideas were transmitted which will be made concrete in a problematic analysis on nursing diagnoses. This takes place upon perceiving the necessity in the process of professional development and nursing discipline, to shed some light and comprehend what other viewpoints bring to the understanding of assistance, teaching and investigative practices. Today more than ever it has become necessary to recuperate a problematic and critical thinking which permits us to go beyond that which has been presented to us as licit and true knowledge as "the only thought" on occasions. One perceives certain stiffness in the habitual forms of thinking about treatment (the objective of Nursing as a discipline) and an ostensible "loss of sense" in practice; and this crisis threatens a rigorous exam and a questioning of the traditional forms of thinking, describing, teaching and exercising treatment practice. This is the pretense of the following essay.
