To develop a printed classifier instrument to guide geriatric emergency care for caregivers of the elderly. This is a literature review of the last 10 years, aiming to elucidate the theme and thus, based on the information obtained, build the printed instrument for the geriatric public. Therefore, this work took place in two stages, the first being the search for articles on online search platforms and the second the construction of the proposed technology. The applicability of educational instruments in health is of paramount importance, even for those who do not have training in the area, as is the reality of many caregivers in the country, so the instrument built was based on colors already used for a better understanding of the tool. It is concluded that the applicability of the tool is easy to understand and can help in the assessment and decision-making of caregivers, thus favoring care, adequate prognosis and in a timely manner for the elderly.
