Correct Answer is ["600"]

Explanation

1. Calculate the desired flow rate (mL/hr):

Desired flow rate (mL/hr) = Total volume (mL) / Infusion time (hours)

Desired flow rate (mL/hr) = 250 mL / 25 minutes

Desired flow rate (mL/hr) = 10 mL/minute

2. Convert mL/minute to mL/hour:

10 mL/minute * 60 minutes/hour = 600 mL/hour

Therefore, the nurse should program the IV pump to deliver the 250 mL bolus of NS at a rate of 600 mL/hour.
