See the section in the APA 7th guide on Book Chapters. Here is a summary of the layout.
And here is an example:
Gordon, C. J. (2017). Fostering sleep. In J. Crisp, C. Douglas, G. Rebeiro, & D. Waters (Eds.), Potter and Perry’s fundamentals of nursing (5th ed., pp. 988-1015). Elsevier Australia.
The intext citation could look like:
Narrative style within the sentence: Gordon (2017) stated ...
or
Parenthetical style at the end of the sentence: (Gordon, 2017).
