What does "D" in AIDET signify?

Deliver the medication
Duration of task
Document the patient visit
Discuss with family

The correct answer is: Duration of task

In the AIDET communication framework, the "D" stands for "Duration." AIDET is an acronym used in healthcare to enhance communication between providers and patients, ultimately improving the patient experience. By addressing the duration of a procedure or task, healthcare professionals set clear expectations for patients, helping to reduce anxiety and build trust. Being transparent about how long a patient may have to wait or how long a procedure will take is crucial for effective patient management. By providing this information, providers can improve the patients' understanding and help them feel more comfortable throughout their care journey. Other options do not align with the established AIDET framework; for example, delivering medication and documenting patient visits are important processes but do not represent the "D" component in AIDET. Discussing matters with family, while valuable in certain situations, is not the focus of the AIDET framework.
