Please attest that you have read and understood the following information as a reply to this post. I will deducte 10% per inappropriate reference used. If you use UpToDate for an academic resource for a paper you may only count it as one reference

AGACNP & FNP

Acceptable References

Rationale: As future providers, one wants to follow the evidenced-based practice that is accepted by regulatory authorities. The authorities and peer-reviewed journals have the input of many professionals and not just one provider’s opinion. As a provider, you want your care substantiated with best practices and published treatment plans and protocols to withstand your defense with other providers and a lawsuit.

Examples of these authorities include, but not limited to:

ACOG, AADE, ADA, American College of Surgeons, etc.
