Getting a POA is relatively simple in this case. All you really need is:
- A description of the powers given to the person who will be the attorney-in-fact.
- The signature of the principal or someone who signs at the principal’s direction.
- The signature of at least two witnesses who are not going to be the POA (any two adults). You can also have a notary public sign the document in addition to or instead of the two witnesses. (Nevada Statute § 162A.790)
In your POA, add the following verbiage to state the powers related to medication:
"My Agent has the authority to obtain, manage, and administer any prescription or over-the-counter medications on my behalf, including speaking with doctors or pharmacies regarding my medications."
If you want to include the ability to refuse or consent to medications as well, you could add:
"My Agent may also consent to or refuse medications as needed for my care."

I understand you're looking for a power of attorney medical form for medication purposes. Have you already consulted with a lawyer regarding this matter?
No.
Lexi, Chatbot
Are you specifically looking for a general power of attorney form or a medical power of attorney form?
I found the general POA form, and ideally I would like to add verbiage to that form related to the pick-up or transport of medication for each other.
Lexi, Chatbot
Is there anything else the lawyer should know before I connect you?
Not looking to include any advanced directive decisions on this particular POA form.

Hello! Legal Eagle here, and I am an attorney specializing in your area of law. I am more than happy to help you with your situation! Are you the principal in this case?
Yes. My wife and I are looking for a general POA doc which would also cover the receipt and transportation of medication for each other. We live in Nevada.
I used eForms to generate the general POA, but I wanted to add verbiage about medications to it—nothing related to advanced directives. We have that covered in a Trust.

That is great! So I can just add that to the list of items in the POA form, correct?
