Sumario:Objective: Identify care practices produced by primary care nurses in the territory. Method: Exploratory-descriptive study with a qualitative approach carried out in ten basic health units located in the city of Boa Vista, Roraima, Brazil. The social group was made up of eight nurses from the municipal workforce. Data production took place between December 2022 and February 2023, mediated by semi-structured interviews. The audio files totaled approximately one hour, were transcribed manually and analyzed according to Bardin’s theoretical framework. Results: The care practices were organized in two central thematic categories, named: health education practices produced by nurses in the territory and vaccination as a care practice carried out by nurses in the territory. Conclusion: Health education was decoded as a care practice by nurses based on actions with priority groups present in the territory guided by conversation circles, educational lectures and educational campaigns on sexually transmitted infections, mental health and drug use. Vaccination was decoded based on the active search for children in the territory, campaigns in schools and the application of vaccines against COVID-19 in the territory.
