Before examining a client's skin under a magnifying lamp, what should you do?

Adjust the lamp’s brightness
Cover the client's eyes with eye pads
Inform the client about the procedure
Clean the magnifying glass

The correct answer is: Cover the client's eyes with eye pads

Covering the client's eyes with eye pads before examining their skin under a magnifying lamp is essential for several reasons. The strong light emitted from the magnifying lamp can be uncomfortable or even harmful to the eyes, particularly for individuals with sensitivity to bright light or those who may experience discomfort during skin analysis. By using eye pads, you ensure the client's comfort and maintain their safety, allowing for a more effective and reassuring examination process. In this context, adjusting the lamp’s brightness or cleaning the magnifying glass could be important steps, but they do not directly address the immediate needs of the client regarding comfort and safety. Informing the client about the procedure is also important, as it helps build trust and keeps them informed, but it doesn't provide the physical comfort that covering their eyes does. Hence, prioritizing the client's well-being through protective measures is vital before proceeding with the examination.
