Rationale: Therapeutic hypothermia involves cooling the body using methods like systemic hypothermia (whole-body cooling), internal cooling (e.g., via catheters), and surface-induced hypothermia (e.g., cooling blankets). Internal evaporation is not a recognized method for achieving therapeutic hypothermia; it relates more to natural heat loss mechanisms like sweating, not a controlled medical intervention.
