a. Hypotension that results from the systolic pressure less than 90 mm/Hg

c. Pale, cool, and clammy skin due to vasoconstriction in the sympathetic nervous system
d. Cessation of urination because there is a decrease of blood flow to kidneys that makes urine.
The underlying cause of hypovolemic shock would be the hemorrhaging or fluid losses in the body due to the placement of the gunshot wound.
