Nev. Rev. Stat. § 162A.800
in effect1. In a power of attorney for health care, a principal may nominate a guardian of the principals person for consideration by the court if guardianship proceedings for the principals person are begun after the principal executes the power of attorney.
2. If, after a principal properly executes a nondurable power of attorney for health care pursuant to NRS 162A.790 , a court appoints a guardian of the principals person, the nondurable power of attorney is terminated. The guardian shall follow any provisions contained in the nondurable power of attorney for health care delineating the principals wishes for medical and end-of-life care.
3. If, after a principal properly executes a durable power of attorney for health care pursuant to NRS 162A.790 , a court appoints a guardian of the principals person, the durable power of attorney for health care is suspended and the agents authority is not exercisable unless the court orders the termination of the guardianship, and the power of attorney has not otherwise been terminated pursuant to NRS 162A.270 . Upon the court ordering such a termination of the guardianship, the durable power of attorney for health care is effective and no longer suspended pursuant to this subsection and the agents authority is exercisable.
