for eg. root=
<root>
<param value="abc">
<param value="bc">
</root>
NodeToInsert could be
<insert><parameterDesc>afds</parameterDesc></insert>
The output should be:
<root>
<insert><parameterDesc>afds</parameterDesc></insert>
<param value="abc">
<param value="bc">
</root>
I'll be really irritated if it turns out I just did your homework for you.

The result will be:

<param value="bc"/>
