  1. Gloves are donned when handling biohazardous materials.
  2. Nitrile gloves must be worn when processing materials of extreme temperatures.
  3. Gloves must always overlap the lab coat sleeves to ensure protection.
  4. The practice of “double gloving” provides more protection in some situations.
Explanation
Answer: B - Nitrile gloves must be worn when processing materials of extreme temperatures
The following choices are true and correct about donning gloves as a form of personal protective equipment in the laboratory, except for using nitrile gloves when processing materials of extreme temperatures. This is because nitrile gloves cannot withstand extremes in temperatures. Thus, temperature-resistant gloves are used for this purpose especially when handling hot objects or dry ice.
