Realyreal is also correct in saying that if you are THERE the tendency, with caring family, is for staff to kind of off the cuff share stuff. That is dangerous for them, so they are sometimes unwilling.
Is the POA in another state informed and participating but unwilling to share info with the rest of the family? Is this a family problem? Hope not. Try your very hardest to get along. Even if currently this person will not share with YOU, you are there, and you can share with this person, willingly and openly what you are seeing; this may open communication. Try your very best for honest,gentle, open communication at this time. Good luck.
MPOA/DPOA has the ability to control everything if the person in question is declared incompetent or is unconscious.
Are you at the hospital and the POA is in another state?
I didn't have POA for my dad but I was at the hospital all day and every other night, so the doctors and nurses just shared everything with me.
