A nurse is assisting in developing a list of Internet sites for clients to obtain valid health information. When evaluating internet resources, which of the following findings indicates the information likely contains credible medical information?

A. Correct. Credible medical information is typically supported by references to reputable sources or studies. Authors who cite references provide evidence that their information is based on established knowledge. B. Incorrect. The .com URL does not necessarily indicate the credibility of the information. Websites with .org or .gov domains may be more reliable for health information. C. Incorrect. Websites with outdated information may not be as credible since medical knowledge and practices can change over time. D. Incorrect. Authors listed without credentials may raise doubts about the reliability of the information. Credible sources usually provide author qualifications.
