Abstract

Introduction (background): It is the role of the nursing team to administer the medication safely and correctly, thus having adequate knowledge about the medication, dose, and correct form for a given route. Therefore, it is extremely important to search the literature for studies that show this issue, since there are differences as to which drugs can be administered subcutaneously. Objective (Objectives): Identify and map in the literature which drugs can be administered by subcutaneous infusion in adult patients. Project (Design): This is a scoping review based on the recommendations of the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) Reviewer’s Manual, according to the steps proposed in the PRISMA-ScR according to the theoretical framework of Arksey and O’Malley. Data sources (Data sources): To carry out this review, the following databases were used to select articles and theses and dissertations: PubMed, SciElo, Web of Science, SCOPUS, LILACS, Catalog of theses and dissertations of the CAPES, Dart-Europe E-Theses Portal, Electronic Theses Online Service (EThOS), Open access Scientific repository of Portugal (RCAAP), National ETD Portal, Theses Canada, Academic Archive Online (DIVA), Theses and dissertations from Latin America. Review method (Review methods): The selection of articles took place in two stages, the first from reading the titles and abstracts, observing the established inclusion and exclusion criteria, and in the second stage, the studies were analyzed by reading the material in full. No language restrictions were established. Results: The final sample consisted of 22 studies, published between 2003 and 2021, mainly in Brazil, with predominant evidence level I. Conclusion (Conclusions): Thus, the studies found support the nursing team on which drugs can be administered without causing any harm to the patient, and thus being able to promote and support the inclusion of this technique even more in the practice of health professionals, especially in the of Brazilian nursing.
