Trendelenburg was the answer as per profersor. I chosed fowler's position. I am looking for the rationale.

My choise on the test was fowler's position but I don't understand why I am wrong.

Orthopneic or tripod position places the patients in a sitting position or on the side of the bed with an overbed table in front to lean on and several pillows on the table to rest on. Patients who are having difficulty breathing are often placed in this position since it allows maximum expansion of the chest.
-
Fowler's position is used for people who have difficulty breathing because in this position, gravity pulls the diaphragm downward allowing greater chest and lung expansion.
-
I am looking for the right answer because one book said fowler and I look in the Internet some resources said trendelenburg position.
