This involves the ingestion of a small amount of acrylic paint. The patient is currently asymptomatic.
Recommended actions:
- Provide fluids to drink
- Offer a healthy snack
- Monitor for gastrointestinal upset
If symptoms appear or worsen, the patient should go to the emergency room or call the poison center. No toxicological problems are expected based on the described exposure.
