Answer 1

Emergency care for injuries to the face includes certain steps, but establishing and maintaining in-line spinal stabilization is not one of them.

Step-by-step explanation:

Emergency care for injuries to the face includes wrapping an avulsed tooth in a sterile gauze pad soaked in saline, providing oxygen by a nonrebreather mask, and establishing and maintaining the patient's airway by the use of airway adjuncts.
