No. A power of attorney does not allow the attorney-in-fact (that's the term for the holder of a POA) to prevent the grantor of the power from doing anything. It takes a conservatorship order before anyone can stop a person from acting on their own behalf. A power of attorney only gives the attorney-in-fact the authority to act in the place of the grantor of the power, not stop the grantor from doing anything. If he is that at odds with her about his wishes, though, and he truly is still fully mentally competent, he probably should just revoke the POA to eliminate any doubt about the situation.
