Which would the nurse expect when placing a nasogastric tube in a 2-month-old infant? A pacifier will decrease gagging and allow easier insertion of the tube. Gastric contents will not appear in the tube if the infant is receiving nothing by mouth. Coughing, irregular breathing, and slight cyanosis will occur during introduction of the tube. The tube will be passed a distance equal to the length from the chin to the tip of the sternum.
