ABSTRACT Objective: to identify the activities developed by nurses in care management in the organ and tissue donation process. Method: this is a quantitative, retrospective, exploratory and descriptive study, carried out in two hospital institutions in southern Brazil, between June 2013 and June 2016. The sample consisted of 104 records of patients notified to the State Transplant Center. For data analysis, descriptive statistics were used. Results: at Institution A, 70.2% (73) of medical records were analyzed and at Institution B, 29.8% (31). As for activities developed by nurses, it is noteworthy that in the first, they carried out 1,299 management activities (93.7%) and in the second, 317 (53.9%). As for assistance activities, in the first, 507 (83.1%) and in the second, 217 (63.1%) activities. With regard to nursing care, care should be taken to maintain temperature, water balance and glycemic control. Conclusion: it was possible to identify that nurses develop a greater number of actions aimed at management issues in the donation process. As for assistance, there was a greater concern with maintaining the temperature.
