Rendering aid makes you look unsure of the SD shoot, IMO. If I have to shoot I am positive that is the only option I have. By helping the man you make it look like there were more options.
I think these are extremely questionable premises, as jhenry already argued.

I wouldn't attempt to directly administer aid for the safety and health reasons already cited, but you are not going to hang yourself by showing some simple humanity after you have, in your judgment, neutralized the threat. The worst you could say of rendering aid in a manner that brings you into close proximity to the wounded attacker is that the action is naive and foolishly risky.

As another poster stated, we're talking about two fundamentally different sets of circumstances. In the first, you're facing an active, as yet unchecked threat. In the second set, the threat, in your judgment, has been neutralized. Actions and calculations applicable in the first are in no way necessarily applicable in the second, and vice versa.
