Answer

When choosing the correct lifting technique and equipment for patient handling, healthcare providers must assess factors that affect safety, physical capability, and compliance. 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 irrelevant to lifting techniques and equipment.
