Diabetic foot lesions are a problem that needs increasing and constant attention due to its severity and the high number of diabetics who develop such complication as a result of poor health education. The lack of foot surveillance in diabetics is an existing problem that limits the identification of risk factors, prevention and timely intervention. To solve this problem, it is necessary for nurses to master and exercise surveillance and injury risk assessment procedures. The aim of this study is to analyze the literature already published on Diabetes Mellitus and the Diabetic Foot, focusing on the practices of care and prevention of the diabetic foot. This work is a bibliographic study of the integrative review type, carried out in the main scientific databases present in the Virtual Health Library, BDENF, Lilacs and Medline. The guiding question was: What are the nursing care skills of nurses facing a patient with diabetic foot? The synthesis of the collected evidence points out that the nurse's performance in Primary Health Care is an important strategy to prevent complications among those who live with diabetes. The studies reveal potentiality regarding the educational practice of this professional for the prevention of the diabetic foot.

Cow's milk is a food highly susceptible to bacterial contamination due to its composition rich in nutrients of high nutritional value. Thus, it is important that this food is obtained and processed with adequate hygiene, and undergo appropriate heat treatment. Among the most common bacteria that can compromise the quality of milk are those of the Enterobacteriaceae family, which can reduce its shelf life and cause several foodborne diseases such as salmonellosis, yersiniosis, and E. coli toxinfection. In this study, the objective was to analyze the microbiological quality of pasteurized milk commercialized in a city in western Paraná, through the count of Enterobacteraceae. Six milk samples from two different brands and from discrepant lots were analyzed. The results obtained were above the standard established by the legislation. This fact may indicate that there were problems in the post-pasteurization procedures, treatment temperature, inadequate transport or storage, or even an exaggerated amount of bacteria in the raw milk prior to pasteurization. Therefore, this work shows the need for veterinary inspection of post-pasteurization procedures to decrease risks related to loss of shelf life of the product and risks related to public health.
