"Sandy" can refuse care, no matter what the doctor thinks.Every nursing home resident has a responsible party who tends to billing issues, finances, and care decisions. If "Sandy" didn't want treatment, she didn't have to have it. Her responsible party should have been contacted when she was sent to the hospital, and the hospital should also be in contact with that person. THAT is the determining factor in whether a patient can "refuse" care or not.
