We aimed to describe the design of instruments to subsidize the care for the body donor-family binomial in the perspective of the process of organ procurement. The Activities of Living Model grounded the instruments for data collection. We identified 33 possible diagnoses, 14 associated to the body preservation and 19 to responses from family members facing grieving and the decision on whether to authorize the donation. We selected 31 interventions to preserve the body for organs/tissues procurement, and 25 to meet the needs for information, coping and support for the family decision. The nursing diagnoses, interventions, and outcomes were registered according to the North American Nursing Diagnosis Association, Nursing Intervention Classification, and Nursing Outcome Classification, respectively. The instruments follow the legislation of the Board of Nursing and the donor/organ procurement, needing to be validated by field experts.
