You have been asked to review a legal case in which a patient intentionally overdosed on heroin and then died after EMS responders arrived. Those responders did not have a bag-valve mask to ventilate the nonbreathing patient, so the patient was not ventilated until a second EMS unit arrived. The evidence indicates that the EMT and paramedics both signed their morning equipment check indicating that they had inspected the ambulance and had all the necessary equipment to do their job. In this case, you would realize:

A) The EMT and paramedics can seek protection under the Good Samaritan law B) The EMT and paramedics will most likely be charged with contributory negligence C) The EMT and paramedics are not responsible because the patient intentionally overdosed D) The EMT and paramedics were negligent in caring for the patient
