The purpose of this paper was to identify the nurse’s Family Health Strategy (FHS) activities. It is a qualitative study, and the subjects were 5 nurses from different counties in southern Rio Grande do Sul working in FHS. Data were collected between October and November 2008, using the technique of structured self-report and were analyzed for themes.
