Urinary Catheter Management Policy and Procedure

$24.99
Instant download. One-time purchase. Fully editable Word (DOCX).

A urinary catheter management policy and procedure for NDIS providers delivering high intensity supports. It guides trained, delegated support workers caring for participants with an indwelling or suprapubic catheter.

What is inside:

  • Policy statement, definitions, worker requirements and equipment list
  • Preparation, including checking catheter type and drainage patency
  • Perineal and suprapubic site care
  • Drainage bag care: positioning, emptying, changing between leg and night bags, and replacement
  • Contraindications, including a catheter that has fallen out and no urine draining for more than 4 hours
  • Complications and escalation, including atypical signs of catheter-associated urinary tract infection
  • Infection control, autonomic dysreflexia response and task boundaries for support workers
  • Documentation and incident reporting

Good to know: the document states that support workers must not insert, remove or change indwelling or suprapubic catheters. Workers need training and a current written delegation from a registered nurse or continence nurse.

  • Reviewed against the current NDIS Rules, Practice Standards and Commission guidance
  • Editable DOCX with a placeholder legend, so you enter your details once
