Verified step by step guidance

Understand the role of the integumentary system, which includes the skin, hair, nails, and associated glands, and its connection to LASIK surgery. LASIK primarily affects the eyes, which are not directly part of the integumentary system but are closely associated with it through the eyelids and surrounding skin.

Recognize that LASIK surgery involves reshaping the cornea to correct vision. This procedure can lead to temporary or long-term side effects, such as dry eyes and visual disturbances, due to changes in tear production and corneal sensitivity.

Evaluate the options provided in the question. Hair loss around the eyebrows, skin rashes on the eyelids, and excessive sweating are not typical manifestations associated with LASIK surgery. These symptoms are more related to other conditions or systems.

Focus on the correct answer: Dry eyes and visual disturbances. These symptoms are common after LASIK surgery because the procedure can disrupt the normal tear film and corneal nerve function, leading to dryness and changes in visual clarity.

Conclude that the nurse should monitor for dry eyes and visual disturbances in a client who has recently undergone LASIK surgery, as these are the most relevant and expected manifestations related to the procedure.
