Question 2

You have been called to a home for an alert and oriented female with terminal lung cancer. At the home, the daughter, who is her mother's durable power of attorney, states that she wants her mother transported to the hospital. The patient, who is alert and oriented, does not want to go. Which of the following statements indicates that the EMT is acting both appropriately and legally in this conflict?
 
  A) Since your daughter is the durable power of attorney, she has the legal right to make all decisions; therefore, we have to take you to the hospital.
  B) As your durable power of attorney, your daughter has the legally vested right to make your decisions; however, let us ask your husband what he thinks.
