If You start a continuous infusion of 150 units of insulin in 150ml of normal saline solution if the prescribed dose is 8 insulin units per hour what is the flow rate in ml per hour?

If 150 units are homogeneously distributed in 150 ml of solution, then any number of ml
of solution carries an equal number of units. So it seems as though a flow rate of 8 ml
per hour delivers 8 units per hour. But I would certainly check with a nurse before risking
a patient's well-being on my understanding of matters such as this one.
