Cynthia is writing a fictionalized story about the real life of a nurse. She used a scene from her favorite television sitcom as the source material for her research on the life of nurses.

A television sitcom is fictional, so it may not accurately show what nurses’ real lives are like. Since Cynthia’s story is based on the real life of a nurse, she should research reliable nonfiction sources, such as biographies or interviews. The teacher would say that using the sitcom was not a good choice because a nonfiction source would be more reliable.
