Only the work actually consulted should be listed in the bibliographic references.

Do not use the terms apud, op. cit., id. ibidem etc. They are not part of the APA Rules. Preferably use forms such as: “cited by”, “work mentioned above”, “idem” etc.

When repeating the same reference, use the first author's surname followed by "and others" and the date.
