Creativity
The format should not match the layout shown in the example image. Be creative.
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 Mayo Clinic, 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.
