Since there seems to be so much confusion and there appears to be such little understanding of why APA citation is required, I thought this week would be a good week to include an article that reviews the concept of plagiarism in nursing and for each of you to recognize this does not just apply to papers but to documentation and into clinical practice. Read the following article (Carter et al., 2019) and answer the questions listed below by Sunday, 7/9/23 by 11:59. One peer response of at least 150 words is required. Both the original and peer response are due by Sunday, 7/9/23. Two scholarly sources (other than the provided article) are required (published within the past five years) and cited per APA 7th edition formatting. I would anticipate that each student locate different scholarly sources as it is surprising when students cite the very same scholarly sources (one could be explained but both the same references is surprising?) Answer the first two questions BEFORE you read the article.
