<span>When writing as a student or
healthcare professional, it is important to use credible sources because
writing is only as credible as the sources upon which that writing is
based. This, naturally, will be
important for students and healthcare professionals because grades and
reputation will always be based upon the writing produced. What this means is that if a student or
healthcare professional produce work based on non-credible sources then the
student or healthcare professional cannot be trusted as a reliable source of
information. </span>
If the source you are attempting to use is not credible, information may be false. In healthcare there a lot of news articles over various diseases like ebola, west nile ect. if you wish to get information on curing or treating a disease as such, it is best to use a credible source. if you do however use a non-credible source, you may try to use the information given from the article and maybe try to treat an illness but possibly fail or make things worse.
A colon should only be used if the sentence before the colon is an independent and complete thought. The colon should be able to be replaced by a period and the information after the colon removed
