Catheter Care Competency Assessment
A catheter care competency assessment for workers delivering NDIS high intensity supports. A registered nurse or continence nurse completes it at initial assessment and annual review. It is also used after a change in needs or a break of 3 or more months.
What is inside:
- Worker and assessment details, including assessor and delegating practitioner AHPRA numbers and the delegation reference
- Knowledge assessment: IDC and SPC care, closed drainage, CAUTI signs, dislodgement response and bypassing
- Knowledge of infection control, escalation and autonomic dysreflexia linked to catheter blockage
- Observed skills: hand hygiene, perineal and stoma hygiene, site inspection and patency checks
- Skills for emptying and changing drainage bags, securing tubing, recording output and a simulated dislodgement scenario
- Assessment outcome, action plan, reassessment and next annual review dates
- Signatures from the assessor, worker and manager
Good to know: every item must be rated satisfactory before the worker starts providing catheter care independently. Delegation is issued only once competency is confirmed.
