The correct answer highlights the utilization of a mechanical lift and supportive measures, which align with ergonomic principles designed to protect both the nurse and client from injury. Proper use of assistive devices reduces strain on healthcare workers and enhances patient safety. The other options reflect improper techniques that could lead to musculoskeletal injuries or compromise the client's safety. For example, leaning forward and relying on back muscles increases the risk of strain, failing to use tools or support places excessive demand on the client’s strength, and standing with feet close together limits balance and stability.
