ISMP IV Push Guidelines

Hello,
I am curious as to what others are doing with the ISMP IV push guidelines and to not dilute medications unless required. For CVC/PICC lines in particular what is your practice with such medications as IV dilaudid (which does not require dilution)to be administered in these vascular lines? Concerned with the recommended 10cc syringe to reduce excessive PSI pressure in line and the very small amounts of dilaudid ordered at times.
Thank you in advance for your input.
