ABSTRACT Teleconsultation can be classified as an advanced practice nursing that requires nurses’ clinical reasoning based on a consistent theoretical framework to use in the nursing process. Our study conducted a theoretical-reflective analysis, based on Callista Roy’s Adaptation Model of Nursing and Chick-Meleis’ Transition Theory, about the contribution of teleconsultation as an advanced practice nursing in the care of older adults with chronic diseases during the COVID-19 pandemic. We reflect on this in two moments: “nursing theories and dealing with COVID-19” and “ways of adapting to new care models and advanced practice nursing,” based on communication and information technologies. The worsening of the pandemic in Brazil changed life cycles, health/disease and organizational processes, demanding the development of an adaptive-transactional state by users and health care providers. Thus, information and communication technologies combined with advanced practice nursing can relieve social distancing and its repercussions on health care.
