FNOPI- the National Federation of Nursing Professions Orders (IPASVI until 2017) involved the scientific societies and professional associations of its own professional area in identifying high-risk practices of inappropriateness within their scope of practice, in accordance with the indications provided by Slow Medicine within the scope of project “Doing more, does not mean doing better “. In each of the Societies and Associations who accepted the invitation by FNOPI a working group was set up to conduct a review of the literature (searches for guidelines on the sites of the main national and international institutions, searches for systematic reviews on the Cochrane Library, searches on the site of the Joanna Briggs Institute – JBI …) and selected a number of practices, related to the specificity of the association, in terms of limited effectiveness, the risk of causing harm to patients, and to widespread dissemination in Italy. The choice of the final list was prompted by several meetings among the various scientific societies and professional associations: the list shows practices identified by AICO, AIOSS, AIUC, AIURO, and ANIMO. The methodological approach was organized by the Academy of Nursing Sciences (ASI).
