D
Hypovolemic shock is a decrease in the client's circulating blood volume that leads to inadequate tissue perfusion (the passage of blood through tissues or vasculature). Inadequate tissue perfusion deprives the cells from oxygen resulting in hypoxia, the inability of the cell to maintain normal metabolic activities including energy production and waste removal from a lack of oxygen. As a result, the body cells become injured and die, leading to organ damage and failure, and potentially the client's death.
