Question
which level of literacy would be assigned to a patient who can fill in a hard copy of a health intake form but cannot follow written directions to fill a medication syringe?
illiteracy
functional literacy
interactive literacy
Functional literacy involves the ability to perform basic reading - writing tasks needed for daily life. Since the patient can fill in a health intake form, they are not illiterate. However, they cannot follow written directions for a medication syringe, which is a more complex task. This indicates they have functional literacy but lack higher - level literacy skills.
