I have heard in the past that when a patient is unable to answer any questions pertaining to the ROS (ie:language barrier, mental status change, untubated), it is acceptable to count this as a complete ROS.

Please check with your payer ... not all of them allow full credit for a complete ROS and PFSH when the patient in unable to provide it due to condition (intubated, infant, dementia, language, etc)
Hope that helps.
