Influenza (“the flu”) is a viral upper respiratory infection that can infect the nose, throat, and sometimes the lungs. Disease can vary from mild to severe, depending on the strain of virus as well as the immunity and overall health of the patient infected (CDCb, 2018). The typical flu season in the United States lasts from October to March and it's time for nurses to gear up for this.
