an infant swallowed hand sanitizer. the parent is about to call the poison control center. what should the parent do first?
gather information needed to tell the poison control center
call the peditrician and ask what to do.
use an emetic to make the child vomit
consult an antidote chart for information about the poison.

Explanation:

When an infant swallows something potentially harmful like hand sanitizer, the first step before calling the poison control center is to gather relevant information. This includes details about the hand - sanitizer (such as its brand, ingredients, amount swallowed), the infant's age, weight, and any current symptoms. Having this information ready helps the poison control center provide accurate and timely advice.
Calling the pediatrician may be an option later, but the poison control center is a specialized resource for poisoning cases. Using an emetic (a substance to induce vomiting) is not recommended as it can cause more harm (e.g., aspiration of vomit into the lungs). Antidote charts are not something a parent would typically have access to or be able to interpret correctly.

Answer:

Gather information needed to tell the poison control center.
