Abstract	Objective: to analyze the role of nurses in the Intensive Care Unit in the prevention of pressure ulcer. Method: it is a descriptive study, developed with 13 nurses from the Intensive Care Unit of the Hospital Universitário Onofre Lopes (HUOL) in Natal/RN/Brazil. We have applied a questionnaire, which was submitted to thematic content analysis. The study was approved by the Ethics Research Committee from UFRN, under CAAE nº 0240.0.051.000-10. Results: nurses reported the execution of the change in position; risk assessment; discussion with colleagues about the undertaken measures; hygiene and hydration of the skin of the patient, through the use of essential fatty acids and moisturizing body lotion; the care for the arrangement of the sheets, in order to avoid folds; the use of air mattress and application of hydrocolloid plates in the bone prominences. Conclusion: the prevention practice of pressure ulcers applied by nurses from the Intensive Care Unit happens with no standardization of the care procedures. Descriptors: Pressure
