Medical Legal
· Good Samaritan
· Most states have enacted Good Samaritan laws.
These laws will protect you as long as you do not go
beyond your level of training, you act in good faith, you
do not accept ANYTHING for your services and you do not
abandon your victim once you initiate care.
· Permission to treat victim
· When a victim in conscious, permission is
required to treat or assist them. When a victim is
unconscious then there is “Implied Consent” and you
may treat/assist the victim.
· Duty to Act
· If you are required to take a CPR class and
possess a current CPR card then you have a Duty to Act
while at work. You are not required to perform CPR at any
other time.
· Medications
· Medicating a victim is generally not covered
by any Good Samaritan laws. It is not advisable to
administer any medications to a victim.
