If large, egg-shaped pockets are noticed on a client's upper eyelid, what is the appropriate action?

When observing large, egg-shaped pockets on a client's upper eyelid, the most appropriate action is to refer the client to a physician. Puffiness or swelling in this area could be indicative of a variety of underlying medical conditions, such as allergic reactions, infections, or other health issues that require professional evaluation and treatment. It's important to prioritize the client's health and safety by ensuring they receive the appropriate medical assessment.

While other options might seem beneficial in a cosmetic or aesthetic context, they do not address the potential underlying causes that a healthcare professional is best equipped to diagnose. For example, applying a cooling gel or performing a facial might provide temporary relief or a superficial improvement in appearance but does not resolve any potential health issues. Similarly, applying makeup could mask the symptom without addressing any serious concerns. Therefore, referring to a physician is the best course of action to ensure comprehensive care.
