A special device used to lift and move or weigh a person; also called hydraulic lift.

• A. Pivot
• B. Non-Skid Soles
• C. Positioning
• D. Mechanical Lift

Answer: (D)

The concept here is patient-handling equipment designed to lift and move or weigh a person. A hydraulic lift, often called a mechanical lift, uses power (hydraulic or electric) to raise and lower a patient safely, typically with a sling to transfer them from bed to chair or into a standing position, and can even incorporate a scale to weigh the person. This equipment protects both the caregiver and the patient by reducing the risk of injury during transfers.

Other options don’t fit because they describe something different: a pivot is a rotation point, non-skid soles are footwear to prevent slipping, and positioning refers to adjusting the body’s posture or alignment rather than lifting or transferring a person.
