A nurse is preparing to administer 0.9% sodium chloride IV infusion 1-L bag at a rate of 125 mL/hr for a client who has rhabdomyolysis. The nurse should expect the IV pump to infuse over how many hours? (Round the answer to the nearest whole number. Use a leading zero if it applies. Do not use a trailing zero.)

8 hours
