What is your primary diagnosis for this patient as the cause for the CC of fatigue? (support your decision for your diagnosis with pertinent positives and negatives from the case)

2. Identify the corresponding ICD-10 code. 3. Provide a treatment plan for this patient’s primary diagnosis which includes: o Medication* o Any additional testing necessary for this particular diagnosis* o Patient education* o Referral 4. Provide an active problem list for this patient based on the information given in the case. 5. Are there any changes that you would make to the patient’s overall plan at this time? Must provide an evidence-based medicine (EBM) argument to support any treatments or testing decisions. 6. Provide an appropriate follow-up plan (include any additional testing that you feel is necessary and include an EBM argument). *If part of the plan does not warrant an action, you must explain why. ALL medication and testing decisions (or decisions not to treat with medication or additional testing) MUST be supported with an EBM argument. Over-the-counter (OTC) and RXs must be written in full as if handing a script to the patient in the office.

Drawing from relevant material in Plato, Aquinas, Machiavelli, and More, as well as your own thoughts and additional sources, evaluate these scholars views. Books to be used:

: Leo Strauss, examining Simonidess endorsement of benevolent tyranny in Xenophons Hiero or Tyrannicus, suggests that the dialogue comes as near to the teaching of [Machiavellis] Prince as the teaching of any Socratic could possibly come. Nonetheless, Strauss goes on to show that, read through a Socratic lens, the dialogue is meant to teach us decidedly un-Machiavellian lessons about the limits of politics and the virtues of philosophic wisdom. By contrast, Alexandre Kojeve, reading Hiero under the influence of Hegelwhose philosophy attempts to synthesize Socrates and Machiavellisees the dialogue as revealing the necessity for an historical process by which political actors (including both philosophers and benevolent tyrants) gradually realize the ideal underlying Hieros dilemma: the definitive conquering of nature and satisfaction of human desire through the successful institution of a universal homogenous state. From Strausss classical view, such a project, rooted in wisdom divorced from moderation, is neither philosophically sound, nor desirable in its practical consequences. Your task, in 12-15 pages, is to compare and contrast these two readings of Hiero and its relevance to modern politics.1. Plato, Gorgias (Nichols, Cornell University Press) 2. Thomas Aquinas, On Kingship (Pontifical Institute of Mediaeval Studies) 3. Machiavelli, The Prince (Mansfield, University of Chicago Press) 4. Thomas More, The History of Richard III (Logan, Indiana University Press) 5. Thomas More, Utopia (Yale, Second Edition) 6. Leo Strauss, On Tyranny (Corrected and Expanded Edition) To clarify: This is a political science paper and not a history paper. This is my final paper aka term paper and is extremely important.
