    Correct. This is a very good method to bring down body temperature in fever without inducing shock into a patient.

    Explanation:

    The extract is a very good technique to reduce a person's temperature with care, avoiding bringing the subject to a state of shock. As using lower temperature waters will provoke the patient a shock and might be riskier because it could trigger hypothermia and that is a very dangerous state that if not attended correctly can kill the patient.
