The implementation of nursing audits in health institutions contributes to improving the quality of care. In the present study, an integrative review of the literature was carried out with the objective of analyzing the fragilities and potentialities of the nursing audit. The search for articles was carried out in the SciELO, LILACS and BDENF database. Full scientific articles were included in national and international Portuguese and Spanish periodicals related to the subject of the study and published between 2013 and 2017. There were 11 articles that were distributed in two categories: Audit Fragilities in Nursing and Potentialities of the Audit in Nursing. The incomplete or absent nursing notes were the weaknesses most pointed out in the articles and demonstrated how much the non-achievement damages the patient, the staff and the institution. As a potential, the nursing audit is a management tool for continuous improvement of the quality of nursing care.
