Administering diphenhydramine (Benadryl) 1 hour before the infusion can help decrease the risk of infusion-related reactions, which can improve the patient's tolerance of the drug. Cooling the solution or diluting it in water may not be effective strategies to increase tolerance, and keeping the patient flat in bed may not be necessary unless there are specific concerns about hypotension or other adverse effects.
