A person is mandated to preform CPR if it is a part of their job responsibility (whether paid or volunteer and they are on the job. For example, I was on the Ski Patrol (unpaid) and when I was on duty I was mandated to perform CPR if required. However, if I was driving home from the Ski Patrol and there was an accident and someone needed CPR, I am not mandated to perform CPR. But, I carry a breathing barrier in my car, and I would perform CPR on someone if needed.

Will there be any side effects to the person who CPR was preformed on even if he got pulse and respiration?
If you perform CPR on a person who is breathing and has a pulse, you would decrease the effectiveness of their own breaths & heart pumps. If a person is breathing and has a good pulse, during the check you should be able to determine the person has signs of life. In fact, if you try to perform CPR, they may resist. If the person is barley breathing and you do not determine they are breathing, better to perform CPR if in question because if the breathing is that faint, it will only be a short amount of time before they loose signs of life. The probability of a side affect of performing CPR with faint signs of life is small.
