The ophidian accidents are caused by the prick of poisonous animals, which turn in a wound with several complications due to action of the poison. Those of the type botrópico are represented by serpents’ pricks.One of the complications is the tissue necrosis, in which requires surgical debridement, amputation or skin grafting. The aim of this paper is to report the experience of nursing care to a patient victim of accident botrópico that required skin grafting.This is a descriptive study, qualitative, like case studies, built from the experience of Nursing students in a reference Hospital in trauma and burn victims from Belém-PA, held in September 2018. Through the Systematization of nursing care (SAE), following all your steps.Worked with priority diagnoses, which were: damaged Skin integrity, acute pain, Self-care deficit, Impaired physical mobility and risk of infection.For coverage of the graft was used non-stick coated mesh in petrolatum, proven to be the most appropriate. The donor and receiving areas showed no signs of rejection or infection.The nurse acts fully in grafting coverage, being responsible for choosing the most suitable product, to promote the restoration, avoiding infection or rejection.
