Objective: to characterize the knowledge about the use of potentially dangerous drugs among hospital health care nurses. Methods: quantitative, descriptive-exploratory re-search, with the application of a validated questionnaire, translated and adapted in Brazil, on potentially dangerous medications, with 26 nursing assistants in a university hos-pital. Univariate and bivariate descriptive statistical analysis of the data was performed using the Statistical Package for Social Science, version 20. Scores ≥70% were considered as sufficient knowledge and insufficient knowledge scores <70%. Results: in the first domain of the questionnaire, called Medication Administration, the average percentage of correct answers was 64.6%. In the second domain, Clini-cal procedures, an average of 53.7% of correct answers was found. The use of electrolytes, chemotherapy and insulin were the main weaknesses in the knowledge of professio-nals. Conclusion: insufficient knowledge about the admi-nistration and clinical procedures of potentially dangerous drugs was identified among hospital care nurses in this sce-nario.
