Answer 1

False.

Hypovolemic shock is primarily caused by a significant loss of blood volume or fluids, such as through hemorrhage or severe dehydration, rather than damage to the spinal cord. However, spinal cord injuries can lead to other types of shock, such as neurogenic shock, which is due to the loss of sympathetic nervous system function.
