if the injured person is conscience then they have to approve or deny assistance.
the actions have to be in "good faith". this is where it is left to interpretation. The good Samaritan law protects people from being prosecuted for causing harm or injury in attempt to aid or assist. If the good Samaritan is acting out of what is perceived as normal, necessary or in good faith then they are no longer covered. you are also not covered for attempting to use or practice "medicine" or medical practices for which you have no formal or certified training.
doesn't exactly answer your question but hopefully it helps.

Your question doesnt make much sense. The good samaritian law is a legal principle that prevents a rescuer who has voluntarily helped a victim in distress from being successfully sued for 'wrongdoing.' Its purpose is to keep people from being so reluctant to help a stranger in need for fear of legal repercussions if they made some mistake in treatment.

The times when I took a CPR class the instructor stated that the law is to protect the "care giver/provider" against retaliation. let's say for example, a racist person finds out that the person they're bias against saves their life. Then that victim can't sue the person that performed CPR that saved their life against liability.
