ADult child gave ok to have tube placed after parent had a stroke.
Now, child is insisting that it be pulled on patient who is alert and oriented, and learning to eat again PO. Pt also walks, is continent of bowel and bladder, and talks (although with slurred speech).
Child does have POA and is healthcare POA.
Is this allowed to be done? Puling the tube, I mean?
Patient very tearful and afraid after child visited, and patient confided in a nurse (although begged nurse not to say anything to the child). Is there anything the nurse can do?
