First, ask the client to hyperextend their neck to straighten the path from the nose to the stomach. Second, ask the client to tilt their head forward, which aids in the insertion of the tube. Third, have the client swallow a small amount of liquid to help guide the tube into the esophagus. Fourth, insert the tube with its natural curve toward the client, and finally, employ a slight twisting motion on the tube to help advance it through the lower esophageal sphincter.
