All patient lifts
Correct Answer
A. HydraulicExplanation
A hydraulic lift uses a pump handle to lift the patient. Hydraulic lifts operate by using fluid pressure to lift and lower objects, in this case, the patient. The pump handle is used to manually operate the hydraulic system, which pressurizes the fluid and raises the lift. This type of lift is often used in healthcare settings as it provides a smooth and controlled lifting motion for the patient. Electric lifts, on the other hand, use an electric motor to power the lifting mechanism, eliminating the need for manual pumping.Rate this question:
