Explanation

Mechanical lifts require two trained staff: assess weight limit, choose correct sling size, attach all loops to corresponding hooks, raise just enough to clear the surface, guide rather than push (resident swings), lock all wheels, communicate each step to resident. Operating alone (c) violates safe-patient-handling standards; ignoring weight limit (a) can drop the resident; speed (d) increases swing and injury. Sling type matches need (full-body, toileting, ambulating).
