To lubricate the nasopharyngeal area, use a water-soluble lubricant, such as a sterile saline solution or a glycerin-based product. These lubricants help ease the insertion of medical devices like nasopharyngeal airways or tubes and can minimize discomfort. Avoid oil-based products, as they can irritate mucous membranes and pose a risk of aspiration. Always ensure that any lubricant used is safe and appropriate for the specific medical procedure.
