    Author: Lane G, Ferrari A, Dreher HM.
    Journal: Medsurg Nurs; 2004 Dec; 13(6):409-14. PubMed ID: 15714745.
    Abstract:
    Legionnaire's disease was first identified and described in January 1977. Even today, it is often regarded as an unusual or exotic disease, when in fact it is a very common form of community and nosocomial acquired pneumonia. The major roles of the acute care nurse, including patient health education; psychosocial needs of the patient; and strategies for disease prevention and control, are discussed.
