Answer

When deciding on the appropriate lifting technique and equipment for a patient, healthcare providers must evaluate several factors related to the patient's physical and mental status to ensure safety for both the patient and the caregiver. The correct options to select are: 1) The patient's level of cooperation, 2) The patient's ability to bear weight, and 4) The patient's mobility. The patient's blood type is entirely irrelevant to physical lifting techniques and equipment selection.
