The healthcare provider prescribes 1 liter of lactate Ringers to infuse in 8 hours. The IV administration set delivers 15 gtt/mL. How many mL/hour should the nurse program the infusion pump? (Enter numeric value only. If rounding is required, round to the nearest whole number.)

- Calculate the infusion rate in mL/hour using the formula: infusion rate (mL/hour) = volume (mL) / time (hours) - Plug in the given values: infusion rate (mL/hour) = 1000 mL / 8 hours - Simplify the expression: infusion rate (mL/hour) = 125 mL/hour - The nurse should program the infusion pump to deliver 125 mL/hour
