C) "If a patient has a valid DNR, the EMT should withhold all care and transport the patient to the hospital. If a living will is present, the EMT should do exactly what it says."
D) "If the patient has a living will, it can legally be used as a substitute for a DNR order by the EMT as long as it is properly dated and signed."
