That's a huge liability for you, the interpreter, to do something like that. I'd likely suggest to the patient that you'd be happy to interpret their request to reception. The NCIHC Standards of Practice standard 13, on page 7 under respect talks about the importance of promoting patient autonomy and "direct[ing a patient] to appropriate resources within the institution." So not only does this involve the ethical principle of respect (because of autonomy), but also the ethical principle of maintaining role boundaries and sticking to your role as a medical interpreter. What if something were to happen to the children while their mother is in the bathroom? You may be held responsible. Why can't the mother take the children to the bathroom with her? What does the healthcare facility staff do with English-speaking parents who ask *them* if they can watch their children when they go to the restroom?

If a patient ask an interpreter to watch her children while she is going to the restroom what the interpreter do?
