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:

  4. Ask the client to speak
