I am a nurse and I know the worst possible way to argue your point is through a faked cite. If you did it in debate you would get kicked off the squad, if you did it in court you could be charged with perjury, and if you do it as a nurse attempting to "one-up" the competition in the CRNA/MDA feud, you disrespect the entire profession.
If you realize that a source you have been quoting is fictional, you have the professional and ethical obligation to come forward and state that. If you didn't know that the cite was fake, then you get a little slap on the wrist and the useful advice to always check out the references of a person when they say exactly what you want to hear.
