Ms Durant was a Ravenclaw, surely she'll get the answer specifically. At the Healer's question, Rhea considered it more. Healing... Restoration... Ah. "An antidote...?" She stated, although it came out sounding more like a question than a statement. Quote:

"Before we begin to brew this potion, what do you think is or are the benefits of poisons? And...what makes an uncommon poison, uncommon?" Ah. It was an antidote.
Rhea wrote down the newly revealed information when the Healer tapped the board and, while she was writing, considered his questions. She put down her quill and raised her hand. "Having access to poisons allows us" - us being people that created antidotes, not her - "to make antidotes for that poison as well as possibly other poisons. Can some poisons, in small doses, be beneficial depending on how they react with other ingredients?" She paused, not feeling like she'd quite gotten across what she wanted to say. Nevertheless, she continued on to answer his second question. This time guessing more than anything else. "If the poison itself it difficult to get hold of... or expensive and because of that it's not sought out as much?" Here she was thinking more of if people were trying to poison someone. "Or maybe if the ingredients are rare?" Hm. "Or if the way it's administered is unusual?"
Woah. Now she needed a breather. Had she ever spoken so much at once in class? Probably not. But ever since the Olivia incident, she grown to appreciate the Healer and Potions even more. Still, her ever-present neutral expression didn't change.
