How to fill out nasogastric tube insertion:

1. First, gather all the necessary equipment for the procedure. This includes a nasogastric tube, lubricating jelly, syringe, and a cup of water.
2. Begin by explaining the procedure to the patient and obtaining their informed consent.
3. Wash your hands and put on gloves to maintain a sterile environment.
