b. healthcare workers need to demonstrate a certain amount of literacy, without literacy, you cannot read instructions on the medicine. And if you don't know what the medicine is for, then most likely people would overdose, or use it for the wrong purposes, etc.

That is why healthcare workers need to demonstrate a certain amount of literacy

hope this helps
