Answer:

The total amount of fluids infused per day is 3,120 ml.

Explanation:

Given that a patient is receiving a normal saline solution, infusing continuously at 80 ml / hr, and a tube feeding formula, Glucerna, infusing continuously at 50 ml / hr, to determine what is the total amount of fluids infused per day the following calculation must be done:

(80 x 24) + (50 x 24) = X

1,920 + 1,200 = X

3.120 = X

Therefore, the total amount of fluids infused per day is 3,120 ml.
