Resources from a DHB

Forms, plans, etc. obtained  from a DHB  that can compromise client confidentiality need to remain anonymous, therefore we need to put X instead of the DHB's name.  So a reference from a DHB intranet would be, e.g.

X District Health Board. (2012). Patient admissions [Form]. New Zealand: Author.

Resources from the Nursing Reference Center Plus

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:

Heering, H., & Komsky, J. (2016, May 20). Abdominal injuries: Blunt trauma [CINAHL quick lesson]. Retrieved from Nursing Reference Center Plus database.

Schub, T., & Parks, J. (2017, June 23). Diabetes mellitus, type 1: Risk factors and prevention [Evidence- based care sheet]. Retrieved from Nursing Reference Center Plus 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), 1101. doi:10.1002/14651858.CD007967.pub2
