Portuguese term

box

Portuguese to English Medical Medical: Health Care
Para uma enfermeira do box, "a falta de material é um obstáculo para a realização do trabalho". E exemplifica: "os lençóis disponíveis não são suficientes nem para o Box".
...................
A tarefa de cuidar dos medicamentos no box é um estresse, porque nem sempre tem todos os medicamentos prescritos na farmácia do hospital(enfermeira do box). Estamos trabalhando em situação de guerra (assistente social).

Thanks in advance!

emergency room/treatment room

Based on the context, I believe the text may be referring to the emergency room or the treatment room.

Based on this document I found, I believe there is also the possibility it means just "room" or "space". If you scroll down through the document in this link, there is a passage in the text describing the use of box with this connotation.

Considering the fact that the text is about nurses in their working environment, however, I would still consider the two original suggestions and would choose the one that fits the text as a whole.

I hope this was helpful!
Peer comment(s):

agree philgoddard : In your example, it appears to mean 'cubicle'.

Thank you!
disagree A.M. Santos : Taking into account the context, I would choose "ward unit"-it is a space with a bed sometimes surrounded by a curtain and a patient being treated after surgery with medication from the hospital pharmacy and exclusive staff.
