He can only take a 5 ft step if he does no other movement - touching a fallen character to use the spell is a move equiv action and can't be combined with a 5ft step.  Also since the character is ignoring the foe when performing this move he gives up an AoO.That is why clerics wear armor so they can take the hit, or have a fighter move up and take the AoO and the cleric move in last to deliver the spell.A character normally only gets 1 AoO per round so if it is used up on someone else (who can take the hit) then the character delivering the spell gets off lightly.  Note that the fallen character generates an AoO when standing so there maybe another one coming in the next round. The description of the act being performed is closest tot eh making a dying friend stable from table 8-2.</blockquote>
