    Calculation

    Order: 1,000 mL. NS to infuse in eight hours. At what rate in mL/h will you set the pump?

    ml\/h

    Explanation & Rationale

    `To calculate the rate of infusion in mL/h, you need to divide the total volume of fluid by the total time of infusion. In this case, you have 1,000 mL of normal saline (NS) to infuse in eight hours. Therefore, the rate of infusion is 1,000 mL / 8 h = 125 mL/h.
