Dear Colleague,

Welcome to this special edition of LPN2009 eNews, which focuses on respiratory disease.

According to the American Lung Association, respiratory disease is the number three killer in America, and more than 35 million Americans are currently living with chronic respiratory diseases such as asthma, emphysema, and chronic bronchitis.

In your everyday practice, you’re likely to encounter patients with one or more of these respiratory diseases. In this special edition of LPN2009 eNews, we’ve compiled articles that address various aspects of respiratory disease to help you expand your knowledge and skills when managing these patients.
