ABSTRACT Objectives: to describe the process of implementing an adapted protocol for pediatric nursing care in a health unit located in a municipality in the Amazon Region. Methods: methodological research conducted in a basic health unit with four family health teams in the state of Rondônia, involving seven nursing professionals. Data collection occurred between October 2020 and April 2022, following the research phases: situational diagnosis, exploratory phase, protocol definition, implementation, and evaluation. Results: the outcome was the adaptation and implementation of a nursing care protocol for children. Final Considerations: the adaptation and implementation process can be an effective approach to improving care, strengthening nursing as a profession with a solid foundation in scientific and clinical evidence. This facilitates early problem identification and appropriate guidance, leading to better health outcomes for children.
