Canadian Fundamentals of Nursing (Chapter for a reading list) (10.2, #20-22 APA Publication Manual and as advised by C. Lee APA Style blog editor June 10, 2020)

Normally a chapter in an authored book would not have a separate reference and would just have an in-text citation as (Potter et al., 2019, Chapter 13). However, since it can also be considered an edited book, and therefore in a list rather than a published article, it can be pulled out and a separate reference created.

Format	Author of Chapter. (date of book). Chapter title. In Authors of book, Title of book (Edition, Editor (Ed.). pp). Publisher.

CINAHL Evidence-based care sheets (10.1, #13-14, pp. 319, also 9.30, pp 296-297, APA Publication Manual, 7th ed.).

Provide the name of the database or archive when it publishes original proprietary works available only in the database. Do not italicize the database name if it appears in text (9.30, 10.1 #13, APA Publication Manual 7th ed.)
Important! APA requires the DOI as a hyperlink when available but CINAHL Evidence Based Sheets do not have a DOI. For sources without a DOI that come from common library databases do not include a URL or any database information (9.30 APA Publication Manual 7th ed.)
In some cases instructors may ask for the library database persistent link instead of the DOI in which case add the persistent link URL in place of the DOI Camosun database persistent links begin with the prefix https://libsecure.camosun.bc.ca:2443/login?url=. Please check with your instructor to see what they prefer.
Include a retrieval date because the contents of the page are designed to change over time (see 9.16, 9.30, APA Publication Manual 7th ed.).

Format	Author, A.A., & Author, B.B. (date). Title of document. Database name. Retrieved Month day, year from URL
