The correct answer is hydraulic lift.
In this case, the patient needs to be transferred using a bariatric lift, which is a specific type of hydraulic lift. A bariatric lift is specifically used to transfer bariatric patients, meaning patients who suffer from extreme obesity. The rest of the available lifts would not be suitable for this type of patient.

When a patient has weight more than average weight as per the height and body mass rule, then a patient requires help in lifting himself/herself while doing daily chorus activities.

In this case client has a great weight i.e 250 lb (113.4 kg), thus her daugther would not be able to support her father all alone. Thus, nurse would have suggested her to use Bariatric Lift Equipment. This equipment is used to lift heavy weighted patients while transferring from bed to wheel chair or vice versa.
