Vitamins and other medications

My physician told me to get a chewable multivitamin, vitamin D with calcium, and a vitamin B-12. Do the other vitamins ( D, calcium, and B-12) need to be chewable. Also what about the other medications I take, do the need to be crushed? Or can I just swallow them, they aren't that big.
