A nasogastric tube is inserted in order for the client to receive intermittent tube feedings. An ini-tial chest x-ray examination is done to confirm placement of the tube in the stomach.
 
  After the x-ray confirmation, the most reliable method of checking for tube placement is for the nurse to:
  1. Place the end of the tube in water and observing for bubbling
  2. Auscultate while introducing air into the tube
  3. Measure the pH of the secretions aspirated
  4. Ask the client to speak
