Mrs. Sarah : “How are you feeling about it?”
Mrs. Sarah : “I’ve never had this done before. It sounds uncomfortable.”
Ns. Grace : “I understand. It can feel uncomfortable, but I’ll walk you through it. Do you have any
questions before I start the procedure?”
Mrs. Sarah : “No.”
Ns. Grace “Okay, then we should start now. First, I’m going to help position you. Please sit upright,
around a 45 to 90-degree angle, with your head slightly tilted forward. This position
helps the tube go down smoothly and reduces any discomfort.”
Mrs. Sarah : “Okay, I’m ready.”

lubricant to help with insertion. Can you tilt your head back, please? I’ll insert the tube
through your nose now, are you ready?”
Mrs. Sarah : “Wait, is there anything I should do while you’re inserting it?”
Ns. Grace : “Yes, I’ll let you know once the tube reaches the back of your throat, once it’s there,
you can tilt your head down slightly and start sipping the water or imitate swallowing
movements. Breathe through your nose and let me know if you need a pause at any
point.”
Mrs. Sarah : “Got it. Let’s get this over with.”
Ns. Grace : “All right, I’m starting now. You’ll feel the tube entering your nose. Breathe in and out
through your nose. You’re doing great so far.”
Mrs. Sarah : “Feels strange, but it’s okay.”
Ns. Grace : “Good. Now, I’m going to advance the tube a little further. Mrs Sarah, the tube now
reaches the back of your throat, start sipping the water.”
