Reference(s)
References used should be noted at the bottom of your infographic in a smaller font as not to distract from information provided but also validating the information came from a reliable source.
References should be from either your textbook or a professional source such as American Gastroenterological Association (Links to an external site.), Prescriber\’s Digital Reference, etc. References should not be from sources such as MayoClinic, WebMD, etc. Additionally, avoid use of journal articles for this assignment as you are looking for a more global consensus than that of one journal article.

Make sure to highlight in some manner the day and time your infographic was created like the image below.
The infographic you submit should match the screen shot you submit with your assignment.
