Its within the definition of reasonable care. It is not reasonable for someone with no training to attempt CPR, they simply lack the confirmed knowledge. Just like its not reasonable for someone with no emergency training to pull someone out of a car wreck... and in the process, do a poor job of it.
It doesn't matter if you mean well. A reasonable person doesn't act outside their limits, or without thinking.
