What should you always take into consideration deciding on the appropriate lifting technique and equipment? Select all that apply. - The patient's blood type - The patient's mobility - The patient's ability to bear weight - The patient's level of cooperation

Answer

When deciding on the appropriate lifting technique and equipment, healthcare providers must assess factors that affect safety, physical capability, and physical participation. Therefore, the correct choices to select are: 1. The patient's mobility, 2. The patient's ability to bear weight, and 3. The patient's level of cooperation. The patient's blood type is entirely unrelated to physical lifting or handling mechanics and should not be considered.
