This is just a totally random question I thought of on a trip home from New Orleans recently. There was a very bad accident off one of the exits and it got me thinking.. If I were to witness a bad car accident, pulled over to assist--and for whatever reason it was clear that the person probably had neck injuries--but was not breathing/no pulse and needed CPR.. What is the appropriate action to take? I'm a student nurse, and I realize that I could get sued for potentially paralyzing someone in an effort to help, but the person would die without CPR.. So what would be the appropriate action to take? Hope this makes sense.
