Help w/ APA format question

Published

I am using abook multiple times in my care plan....each time it's a different page ##...and a different topic ( ex...one page for hypoxia, one page for acute pain)

So when I get to my references...do I just list it once or do I have to list it each time for each different page ##? The APA formatter I was using keeps adding it over and over for each page ## difference...and it's starting to look....odd. lol

Help!

I have searched my APA book top to bottom (terrible book) and couldn't find anything to back me up, but I've always known that you only reference it once, but the page number needs to be in your quotation (in the paper).

Yep. Just looked over a packet our instructors gave us in simple terms. They show an aritcle citing one source several times. Author name and page number were in the article, one reference.

The book will be referenced once at the end. Each reference within the body of the paper will list the author(s) name(s) followed by a comma and the year. Here's a great resource to help clarify things. The site will actually format your references, but also explains the process as it does.
