In dialysis units and community renal services, safe treatment depends on careful pre-dialysis assessment, access care and close monitoring; HLTRNL004 Apply renal replacement therapy develops the enrolled nurse’s ability to support people through peritoneal dialysis and haemodialysis. RTOs offering enrolled nurse specialisation can use it to address renal care demand, supported by HLTRNL004 training materials.
Learners develop skills in building therapeutic relationships, performing pre-dialysis assessments, inspecting access devices, performing peritoneal dialysis exchanges, preparing people and equipment for haemodialysis, applying infection control and supporting self-care management.
Get our HLTRNL004 RTO training materials instead of developing dialysis content internally. Purchase RTO materials and give nursing educators HLTRNL004 training resources that are ready to review and contextualise.
These HLTRNL004 training materials provide a prepared foundation for applying renal replacement therapy. Purchase RTO materials to reduce development workload, with HLTRNL004 RTO training resources covering assessment, peritoneal dialysis, haemodialysis and self-care support.
Check the latest unit requirements on training.gov.au before delivery. Your team should contextualise and validate these HLTRNL004 training materials for its learner cohort, delivery model and selected compliance environment. Use the supplied mapping as a starting point when reviewing your HLTRNL004 materials against the Standards for RTOs.
HLTRNL004 Apply renal replacement therapy focuses on providing care and support to a person in health and community settings who is undergoing renal replacement therapy, including peritoneal dialysis and haemodialysis. It applies to enrolled nurses registered with the NMBA working in collaboration with registered nurses.
The unit addresses five core areas:
Learners must perform renal replacement therapy in the workplace on three different people, including one using peritoneal dialysis and one using haemodialysis. Your team should arrange placements in a suitable renal service.
Yes. The HLTRNL004 learning materials address palpating fistulas for thrill, auscultating for bruit, checking for infection and last needle sites, and checking peritoneal dialysis exit sites.
Yes. The editable files allow your team to add local dialysis protocols, equipment and documentation where contextualisation is permitted.
They are developed as compliant learning resources, but they do not guarantee compliance or audit outcomes. Educators should also check current NMBA standards during validation.
No. The unlimited student licence means no ongoing per-student fees, subject to the applicable licence conditions.
