    Your employer gets to make the rules - if bathing people is part of the job, you said no (even though you later changed your mind), yes, "they" can do that.

    They could also fire you.

    Insubordination is not just your tone of voice - it's your refusal to do your assigned task.

    When they say or sound like they are asking, they are not, they are telling you to do it, your answer is yes or when would you like it done, You are not allowed to say no to your boss to do things that are part of your job.

    In most places telling your boss NO, would cause you to be fired
