The Nursing Consultation (NC) is a private activity of the nurse and is significant in the composition of health activities. Nurses have contributed to the production of technologies addressing the most prevalent chronic non-communicable diseases (NCDs). Among the CNCDs, systemic arterial hypertension (SAH) has a high prevalence and is a public health problem. Given the individual's lack of self-care in relation to controlling SAH, we decided to validate the Nursing Consultation as an educational technology for engaging people in self-care to control SAH. The NC was based on Orem's theoretical framework. To carry out the NC, the following instruments are available: Data survey; Nursing Care Plan (NCP); and Instructional Guide for the NC. The proposed NC includes all the self-care requirements proposed by Orem (1995), enabling nurses to lead hypertensive patients to engage in self-care in order to maintain their health. In order to incorporate SC into the health system, it will be necessary to train nurses on the subject and make the material available in electronic format.
