Appeared in: DSSSB - 28 August 2019 (Shift-1)

Explanation

• The question is a type of classification or 'odd one out' problem, where the goal is to find the item that doesn't share a common feature with the others.
• The shared characteristic among 'Shirt', 'Sweater', and 'Coat' is that they are all garments worn on the upper part of the body.
• A 'Trouser' is the exception because it is a garment designed to be worn on the lower part of the body.

Why Other Options Were Wrong

• Option A: A shirt is an item of clothing worn on the upper body, which is the same category as a sweater and a coat.
• Option C: A sweater is an item of clothing worn on the upper body, similar to a shirt and a coat.
• Option D: A coat is an item of clothing worn on the upper body, just like a shirt and a sweater.

Clinical Relevance

• Nursing practice connection: This is primarily an exam-oriented knowledge point with limited direct bedside application, so retain Classification of objects based on a common characteristic as background academic context rather than a clinical decision trigger.
• Nurses frequently advise patients on Activities of Daily Living (ADLs), including dressing. After abdominal surgery, a nurse would recommend loose trousers, not tight ones, to avoid pressure on the surgical incision.
• For patients with arm or shoulder injuries, a nurse might suggest wearing a button-down shirt instead of a pullover sweater to make dressing easier and less painful.
• What if? If the patient had a full leg cast, the nurse's advice would change to recommending adaptive trousers with side zippers or snaps, or very wide-legged shorts, as standard trousers would not fit over the cast.

How to Approach the Question

• First, read the question carefully to understand the task. The goal is to find the option that is 'different from the rest'.
• Next, examine all four options: Shirt, Trouser, Sweater, Coat.
• Think about the properties of these items. They are all types of clothing.
• Try to find a common characteristic that links three of the options. Consider their function, material, or where they are worn.
• Observe that 'Shirt', 'Sweater', and 'Coat' are all worn on the upper part of the body.
• Identify that 'Trouser' is the only item in the list that is worn on the lower part of the body.
