Exposure to antineoplastic drugs poses a potential risk to the health of professionals who handle, administer and dispose of them. The risk of harmful effects arising from exposure to the cytotoxic properties of antineoplastic agents is not restricted to patients, and health professionals may also experience cellular and clinical changes related to occupational exposure to these substances. Professional exposure can occur at any time during the handling of chemotherapy, whether in preparation, administration or disposal.
One of the situations that require greater sensitivity from Nurses is the reception of cancer patients, since it is the moment when they feel most unprotected and insecure.

The hypertensive crisis is one of the complications of arterial hypertension, characterized by a sudden increase in blood pressure, with the possibility of damage to target organs, which increases the risk of death. This article aimed to analyze the care provided to hypertensive crisis in urgent and emergency care through scientific production. This is a bibliographic review. The selection of works for this review was based on a bibliographical research carried out in scientific production indexes (BIREME, LILACS, SCIELLO) with the descriptors hypertensive crisis, urgent and emergency care in hypertensive crisis, full scientific articles and published abstracts were chosen. This study focused on the hypertensive crisis, showing the importance of emergency care, the risk factors associated with the crisis, the common characteristics and the clinical conditions presented. It then becomes necessary to disseminate guidelines for the care of hypertensive crises, thus providing better quality care, without complications and unnecessary expenses.
