Question 1 of 5
A nurse is attending to a patient with a bowel obstruction who has been prescribed a nasogastric tube. What steps should the nurse take during the insertion of the nasogastric tube?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Tucking the chin and swallowing guides the tube into the esophagus, reducing tracheal misplacement risk. Removing the tube for gagging is premature, supine positioning is less effective, and nose-to-navel measurement is inaccurate.
