In the context of an initial patient visit, the term 'one and done' refers to which of the following?

• A. A new patient on their initial visit that get adjusted on the same day
• B. A patient who receives only one treatment
• C. A patient who cancels after first visit
• D. A patient who is referred elsewhere

Answer: (A)

On the first visit, initiating care right away by performing an adjustment if the evaluation supports it is what this phrase describes. It means a new patient is seen, assessed, and, when appropriate, treated in the same encounter rather than waiting for a separate appointment.

This emphasizes starting care during the initial encounter, so the patient leaves with immediate treatment rather than only completing history and exams or being referred elsewhere. It’s not about a single dose of any treatment across all visits, nor about cancellations or referrals. The core idea is beginning care on the initial visit by providing an adjustment when indicated.
