Sample QuestionHere is a paragraph that a student wrote paraphrasing information contained in a journal article: In a recent study, a group of community health nurses in Sheffield held 50-minute instructional sessions for parents on how to recognize and respond to symptoms of hypoglycemia in their pre-school-aged children. A short questionnaire (5 questions) was administered before and after the sessions to measure parents’ feelings of confidence. An overwhelming majority of parents (89.6%) reported feeling much more confident in dealing with their children’s hypoglycemia after attending the session. The information came from p.460 of this article: McGrath, Kristin; Bianco, Linda A. Effective nurse-patient communication in diabetes. British Journal of Nursing. 2012 Apr 26-May 9;21(8): 458-470. Which of the options below is the correct in-text citation for documenting the source?
