True or False: When a nasogastric tube is removed, liquid material often is located inside the tube. If this material is not controlled, it can dribble out of the tube as it is withdrawn and be inhaled into the lungs as the tube is withdrawn. Covering or kinking the external opening of the tube during its removal is important because it prevents liquids from flowing out of the tube and causing an aspiration pneumonia.
