[Care and technology: approaches through the care model].

To reflect about care in the perspective of the technology makes us rethink the human being's inherent capacity in looking for innovations. Historically, the relationship between the nursing care and the technology is permeated by the search of the scientific knowledge. Thus, the Nursing structured its knowledge body according to its abstraction degree and also having as one of its components the care model.
