We present high resolution spectroscopic data of the two giant extragalactic H ii regions NGC 5461 and NGC 5471 in M 101. We calculate the physical conditions in the two nebulae with a large number of diagnostics, and determine their chemical abundances by applying ionization correction factors (icfs) to the observed ionic abundances. The comparison of the icfs based on photo-ionization models (Luridiana & Peimbert 2001; Luridiana et al. 1999) to those computed following the prescriptions by Mathis & Rosa (1991) shows large discrepancies for several elements, including nitrogen, neon and chlorine.
