If that family member in any way would benefit from the POA or have any interest in the appointment of the chosen attorney-in-fact then they should not notarize the POA. In fact, it would be better to have it notarized by a disinterested third party to avoid any future challenges to the actions taken under the powers of the POA by the attorney-in-fact.

Can a Notary and Power of Attorney be one in the same?

Not enough information is given with which to answer the question. WHAT kind of "agent" is being referred to? However this general statement can be made; an individiual acting under a "power of attorney" CANNOT notarize any documents bearing their own signature. In other words, they cannot sign something acting in their capacity as a POA and then, if they also happen to be a Notary Public, they cannot notarize that same document.
