Enteral Feeding Competency Assessment
An enteral feeding competency assessment for workers delivering NDIS high intensity supports. A registered nurse or dietitian 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: tube types, NG position checks, residual volume, aspiration, site infection and formula handling
- Observed skills checklist: care plan review, tube position check, formula preparation and administration set connection
- Skills for pump rate, positioning, tolerance monitoring, flushing and site inspection
- A simulated high residual volume scenario, record keeping and disposal of consumables
- 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 feeding independently. Delegation is issued only once competency is confirmed.
- Reviewed against the current NDIS Rules, Practice Standards and Commission guidance
- Editable DOCX with a placeholder legend, so you enter your details once
