Objective: To cross-culturally adapt the acute care module of the National Early Warning Score 2 to Brazilian Portuguese. Method: Methodological study of cross-cultural adaptation, authorized by the Royal College of Physicians, carried out from July 2020 to July 2021. Approved by the Ethics Committee, under No. 4.247.069 and registered at Plataforma Brasil No. 36540020.4.0000.5292. Judges from the five Brazilian regions, nurses, evaluated the semantic, idiomatic, cultural, and conceptual equivalences between the original material and the translated versions. Nurses working in 30 Brazilian hospitals conducted the pilot test, with the purpose of ensuring that the adapted version preserved the equivalences in relation to the content of the original version. A qualitative analysis of cultural adaptation was performed. Results: The module was cross-culturally adapted, and 94% of the judges' assessments agreed on the equivalence between the original version and the proposed adaptation. Conclusion: The module was adapted to Brazilian Portuguese.
