Objective:to identify nursing diagnoses and interventions for people with decompensated heart failure. Method: descriptive, observational and cross-sectional study, clinical case report type. The locus was the intensive care unit of a tertiary teaching hospital. Authors used the nomenclature Nursing Diagnoses and Interventions developed and validated for that hospital, according to the terms of the International Classification for Nursing Practice (ICNP®). Results: nursing diagnoses were established from the clinical signs and symptoms during the admission of patients with decompensated heart failure. The identified terms common to the disease were: dyspnea, edema, fatigue, decreased cardiac output and arrhythmia. Conclusion: the nursing diagnoses/ interventions have contributed to the work of nurses in decision-making and management of patients with decompensated heart failure, allowing the systematization of an effective and problem-solving nursing care.
