Abstract
the DIVA-CP tool is still a pilot instrument that needs to be improved through future studies. The tool has great potential and may perform an important role in oncological settings, allowing for easier venous assessment of patients receiving peripheral chemotherapy who are at risk of difficult intravenous access insertion. In addition, this instrument may help nurses to identify patients that may benefit from a central catheter promptly.
