Abstract
community acquired pneumonia is the sixth-leading cause of death in the United States affecting over 1 million individuals costing the government over $10 billion in treatment and patient care (Stanton, 2002). Statistics given by the US Department of Health and Human Services (2002) show that minorities are 3 to 10 times more likely to be affected than Caucasians, the elderly are 60 percent more likely to be affected than the general population and 1 million hospital discharges per year are attributed to community-acquired pneumonia.
