4 Databases/Online Resources Newsletter Nursing Council of New Zealand. (2014, June). Newsletter. Retrieved from Resources from Lippincott Procedures Eyedrop administration. (n.d.). Retrieved from Lippincott Procedures (New Zealand ed.) database. Resources from MedSafe Medsafe. (2013, May 25). Panadol extra with Optizorb formulation. Data sheet. Retrieved from Resources from the Nursing Reference Center The resources on this database include evidence-based practice sheets and quick lessons. They are a bit tricky, as they are not journal articles, but many do have authors, date and title. It is suggested that the entire date be included, where possible, as these are updated regularly. Examples of the evidence-based care sheets are as follows: Caple, C., & Cabrera, G. (2013, May 24). Diabetes mellitus, Type 1: Prevention. Evidencebased care sheet. Retrieved from Nursing Reference Center database. Schub, T. (2012, November 9). Abdominal injuries: Blunt trauma. CINAHL quick lesson. Retrieved from Nursing Reference Center database. The Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews The articles on this are numbered like those of an online journal, with 12 numbered issues every 12 months. Note: The year and volume are in this case the same. Each article has a DOI. For example: Singh, J., Kour, K, & Jayaram Mahesh, B. (2012). Acetylcholinesterase inhibitors for schizophrenia. The Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, 2012(1), doi: / cd pub2 APA Referencing Nursing Examples May 2015 Page 4 of 5

5 Legislation Code of Health and Disability Services Consumers Rights Regulation Reference list: The references start with the name of Regulation; as it is Government legislation no author is given. Although it is hosted on the Health and Disability Commissioner s website, the HDC is not the author. Note that no part of the reference below is in italics. The date is part of the title, so it is not preceded by a comma. HDC Code of Health and Disability Services Consumers Rights Regulation Retrieved from In text: In the opening paragraph of the assignment students will need to state the full name of the Regulation, and put in brackets the shortened version they will use thereafter (HDC Code 1996). They can use the shortened version throughout the rest of their assignment. Using the name of the code as part of the sentence would look something like the example below: This assignment focuses on the HDC Code of Health and Disability Services Consumer s Rights 1996 (HDC Code 1996), which lays out ten basic rights that all patients are granted The Code defines this as meaning a holistic view of the needs of the consumer in order to achieve the best possible outcome in the circumstances (HDC Code 1996). If the Code is not referred to in text, the citation would look like the following example: This assignment focuses on the ten rights every patient is granted (HDC Code of Health and Disability Services Consumer s Rights 1996 [HDC Code 1996]) The Code defines this as meaning a holistic view of the needs of the consumer in order to achieve the best possible outcome in the circumstances (HDC Code 1996).
