Heparin Drip decreased Calculation

Published

Please help me. Can someone show me how to calculate the following heparin calculation?

The nurse provides care for the client diagnosed with a pulmonary embolism. A heparin drip of 100 units/mL is infusing at 130 mL per hour. The health care provider asks the nurse to decrease the rate by 1000 units per hour. The nurse sets the intravenous rate to how many milliliters per hour to achieve the new dose? (Record your answer using a whole number. Do not round.)

Thank you. At one point I got this answer and did not know what to do with it...so thank you very much
