Your 65-year-old patient is from a different country and speaks only minimal English. Upon admission, a translator saw the patient and went over the hospital routines, rules and patient's rights in the patient's native language. The patient's daughter refuses to let you assess or care for the patient. The patient is in pain, but the daughter will not allow pain medication to be given. The patient refuses hospital food. Around supper time, you smell food cooking and enter the room to find the daughter using a hot plate to cook, which is fire code violation. What can you do in this situation?
