Answer to Question 1

A
If resistance is met, try to rotate the tube and see whether it advances. If there is still resistance, withdraw the tube, allow the patient to rest, relubricate the tube, and insert it into the other naris. Advance the tube 2.5 to 5 cm (1 to 2 inches) with each swallow of water. If the patient is not allowed fluids, instruct him to dry swallow or suck air through a straw. Initially, instruct the patient to extend his neck back against the pillow; insert the tube slowly through the naris with the curved end pointing downward. Verify tube placement. Check agency policy for preferred methods.

Answer to Question 2
