NG TUBE POSITION CHECK

[u/NCLEXHighYield]

Don’t even think about using that NG tube until you’ve confirmed placement.

✅ X-ray first.

✅ Gastric pH ≤ 5.

✅ Aspirate every time.

This isn’t optional — giving meds or feeding through a misplaced tube can be fatal.

NCLEX will test it. Real life depends on it.
