Ok if the source said Parents often want to consult with doctors over the phone in off hours to determine if a child needs to be seen. and I wrote Parents may call pediatricians after hours to see if they should bring in their child. Is that plagiarism.
No, it is not it only counts as plagiarism if you copy it word for word/paraphrased and the website is copyrighted and there is more than 30 people visiting the site on a bad day.
Joshua is almost right.
Wes, you have read the links that explain about the difference between copying directly and paraphrasing, right?
What you wrote is paraphrasing, in my opinion. Just cite it!!
Yes, I read the links, and I have cited the sentence in my paper. However, the sentences seem too similar to me because it says not to have the same sentence structures.
Exactly.
So I just checked everything online again, and just to be sure there is no plagiarism in my sentences because it is a paraphrase right?

Read it all again.
Copying and/or paraphrasing need to be cited.
Many others are here:

No, that is not considered plagiarism. Plagiarism refers to the act of using someone else's work or ideas without giving them proper credit. In your example, you have rephrased the statement from the source using your own words and provided a different way of expressing the same idea. As long as you are not copying the exact words or structure of the original source without proper citation, it is not considered plagiarism.
However, it is always a good practice to cite the original source if you are paraphrasing or referencing their ideas. This gives credit to the original author and helps avoid any misunderstandings or accusations of plagiarism.
