In 2001, we realized nursing consultations through APQV, which was localized at the COINMA Health Unit of GHC. APQV is a research and development project of the Interdisciplinary Gender, Health and Work Study Group (GENST) at EE/UFRGS. During these nursing consultations, we observed a large number of patients who presented difficulties in following written food orientations, although oral orientation was given during the consultations, which was reinforced in subsequent consultations. With a view to health education, we considered methodological alternatives for a new way of working with food orientation. One of the alternatives considered was the joint construction, involving nurse and patient, of a proposal by means of drawings. Thus, this study aims to systemize reflections, with a view to making our consulting practices more efficient and resolving.
