trv c is wrong, unfortunately.
You can find the answers with a simple search the prone position can be used for respiratory patients (see: http://erj.ersjournals.com/content/20/4/…
There are several recumbent positions
The upright position for labour, as well as other things
I believe Trendelenburgh can be used for patients with low BP (feet above the head) and patients with air embolus
Fowler's is just as you would expect to see a hospitalised (non-critical) patient, sat up.
You will need to do some more searching on these
