Correct answer: "It will help you interpret new medical terms that you have not encountered before."
Knowing common roots, prefixes, suffixes and abbreviations lets you break down and infer the meanings of unfamiliar terms. The other options are less directly related: learning short medical terms doesn't make patients use them, and dosage calculations require math and pharmacology knowledge rather than just vocabulary.
