For integrating nursing journals, remember the following: 

• Make sure to integrate citations into all of your paper
• Support all claims of what the disease is, why it occurs and how to treat it with references to the literature on this disease
• Always use citations for information that you learned from a book or article; if you do not cite it, you are telling your reader that YOU discovered that information (how to treat the disease, etc.)
• At least three scholarly sources on the disease of the case study. At least 3 pages long that is not including the title page and reference page. All subheadings must be in bold. Uploaded a preview of a 7th edition title page. Thanks
