Abstract	The Situational Diagnosis of Nursing and Health (DSES) is a method for the identification and analysis of a reality and its needs. It istherefore useful to design organization/reorganization proposals. The characterization of the population served by a particular health service is one of the available ways of making a DSES. This is a quantitative, descriptive and cross-sectional study. We aimed to identify the characteristics of patients admitted to the functional unit of Clinical Medicine of a university hospital in Belo Horizonte, MG, Brazil. The study sample was composed of 442 adult patients, who were 18 years old or older, and had been admitted to one of the 67 beds of the functional units until 12 pm of the day before data collection. Data collection took place from May through November 2012. There was a predominance of females (N = 243), aged between 46 and 60 years (N = 140), of white ethnicity (N = 213), eutrophic (N = 179) and nonsmokers (N = 225). In this study, the most prescribed continuous-use drugs were anticoagulants (N = 261). As for baseline diseases, there was a predominance of neurological and mental diseases (N = 81). We also analyzed the incidence of PU, since it is an indicator of quality of care. The incidence of PUs was 5.66% and the sacral region (33.33%) was the most affected area. Identifying the characteristics of patients admitted to Clinical Medicine units is crucial for the provision of qualified care.
