Help with Dosage!

Ok all you dosage wizards out there I need your help for a few problems!! I use the formula method. So any help would be greatly appreciated!!

1). The order is to infuse Aminophylline 1g in 1000ml od D5W at 0.7mg/kg/hr. The client weighs 95lbs. Calculate the dosage in mg/hr, mg/min, and ml/hr.

2). Cardizem 175mg in 250ml of NS to infuse at 10mg/hr. Calculate the flow rate in ml/hr.

3). Dopamine is running at 28ml/hr. The order is for Dopamine 400mg in 500ml of D5 to infuse at 4-12mcg/kg/min. The dopamine was started at 10mcg/kg/min. The patient weighs 130lbs. Is the correct rate set on the pump?

4). Dobutamine 110mcg/min is ordered. Available is dobutamine 250mg in 250ml D5W. The pump is infusing at 12ml/hr. Calculate the mg/hr, ml/hr, and is the pump rate correct?
