How do I cite a chapter in Cherry and Jacob's book, Contemporary nursing: Issues, trends, & management using APA citation style?

Treat it as citing a chapter in an edited book with two authors.  

In text: (Chapter author, year of publication, Chapter X) -- See APA 7th edition, Sections 10.2 and 10.3. (Bargagliotti, 2011, Chapter 2) Note that if you directly quote from the chapter, you will need to give page number. That will change the in-text citation.  

Reference list: (pp. xx-xx for chapter range page numbers) (Please adjust for spacing)

Bargagliotti, L.A. (2011). The contemporary image of professional nursing. In B. Cherry & S. R. Jacob (Eds.), Contemporary nursing: Issues, trends, & management (5th ed., pp. xx-xx). Elsevier/Mosby.
