A member asked:
While removing nasogastric tube from the client, what should the client do? either take a deep breath and hold or take a deep breath and exhale slowly
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Exhale: I'm guessing you're a nurses aide or something like that since you referred to the patient as a client. Have the take a deep breath and blow out slowly as you are removing it.
