Sectiоn 3: Essаy Write а three-pаrt essay that addresses the fоllоwing topics. Be as thorough and specific as possible in your essay. The best responses will demonstrate mastery, rather than sufficient or incomplete knowledge, of the content. Part I (20 points). How does the threat of war and war itself structure political relationships among great powers? Be sure to illustrate your general claims by drawing on theoretical content from throughout our course. Part II (25 points). Provide multiple examples of the general claims developed in part 1 through an exploration of contemporary relations among the United States, China, and Russia. To help with this section, you might organize your discussion by responding to the following more specific question: How have wars or the threat of war shaped recent changes in the political relationships among China, Russia, and the United States? Part III (15 points). Draw on the theoretical arguments and empirical evidence developed in Parts 1 and 2 to offer two sets of policy recommendations to the President of the United States. These policy recommendations should be designed to enhance the national security of the United States, sustain alliance relationships that support its national interests, and prevent great power war.
Reаd the fоllоwing cаse scenаriо, as documented in a "SO"AP format. Then follow the directions. Chief Complaint "I've been getting headaches more often, and I just don't have the energy I used to." History of Present Illness James Carter is a 63-year-old White male who presents to a community health clinic with complaints of frequent headaches and increasing fatigue over the past three months. He states the headaches occur several times each week, are typically located in the back of his head, and are most noticeable after working long days. He has also noticed becoming short of breath while laying brick, carrying bags of mortar, or climbing scaffolding at work. He attributes his symptoms to "just getting older." Mr. Carter reports occasional swelling in both ankles at the end of the workday that improves overnight after resting. He denies chest pain, palpitations, dizziness, syncope, fever, chills, cough, wheezing, calf pain, or recent illness. He states that he has never established care with a primary healthcare provider: "I don't have insurance, so I just deal with things unless they're bad enough that I can't work." He recalls being told during a pre-employment physical approximately eight years ago that his blood pressure was elevated and that he should see a healthcare provider for further evaluation. Because he was asymptomatic, uninsured, and concerned about the cost of medical care, he did not seek follow-up. He has not had routine medical care or blood pressure monitoring since that time. Past Medical History No known chronic medical conditions No previous surgeries No prior hospitalizations Current Medications Ibuprofen 400 mg by mouth most evenings after work for chronic back and knee pain Allergies No known drug allergies Family History Father died from a myocardial infarction at 58 years of age. Mother had hypertension and died following a stroke in her early 70s. Older brother has hypertension and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Social History Mr. Carter graduated from high school. He has worked as a masonry laborer for more than 40 years. His job requires frequent heavy lifting, climbing scaffolding, kneeling, and prolonged standing. He lives alone in a rented mobile home and does not have health insurance. He reports avoiding routine healthcare because of the cost. He currently smokes 1½ packs of cigarettes per day and has smoked since age 18. He drinks 4 to 6 beers most evenings after work and often consumes more on weekends while watching sports on television. (Negative CAGE). He denies illicit drug use. Because of his work schedule and financial situation, he frequently eats fast food, canned soups, frozen meals, and other processed foods. He reports getting little formal exercise outside of work because he is exhausted by the end of the day. Review of Systems Constitutional:Reports fatigue. Denies fever, chills, or unintentional weight loss. Cardiovascular:Reports bilateral ankle swelling by the end of the day. Denies chest pain, palpitations, or syncope. Respiratory:Reports shortness of breath with moderate exertion. Denies cough, wheezing, orthopnea, paroxysmal nocturnal dyspnea, or hemoptysis. Neurologic:Reports intermittent occipital headaches. Denies dizziness, weakness, numbness, vision changes, or speech difficulty. All other systems reviewed and are negative. Physical Examination Vital Signs Blood Pressure: 178/98 mmHg, right arm, seated Repeat Blood Pressure (after 5 minutes): 174/96 mmHg Heart Rate: 86 beats/minute, regular Respiratory Rate: 18 breaths/minute Temperature: 98.2°F (36.8°C) Oxygen Saturation: 97% on room air Height 5 ft 10 in (178 cm) Weight 198 lb (90 kg) BMI 28.4 kg/m² General Appearance Alert, cooperative male who appears older than his stated age. He is appropriately dressed and in no acute distress. His skin is weathered with evidence of chronic sun exposure. A noticeable odor of tobacco is present. Cardiovascular Regular rate and rhythm. Normal S1 and S2 are present. A low-pitched extra heart sound is auscultated immediately following S2 and is best heard with the bell of the stethoscope at the cardiac apex while the patient is positioned in the left lateral position. No murmurs are heard. Peripheral pulses are 2+ and symmetric bilaterally. Capillary refill is less than 2 seconds. Respiratory Thorax symmetric with normal respiratory effort. Breath sounds are clear to auscultation bilaterally. No wheezes, crackles, or rhonchi are appreciated. Peripheral Vascular Trace bilateral pitting edema is present at both ankles.

In your response: Identify at least five appropriate diagnostic studies and/or laboratory tests. Explain the purpose of each diagnostic study or laboratory test. Describe how the results would help confirm or rule out your differential diagnoses, evaluate for target-organ involvement, and support your clinical reasoning and diagnostic decision-making. Directions Respond in 2–3 well-developed paragraphs using evidence-based clinical reasoning and appropriate medical terminology. Provide in-text citations to support your rationale when appropriate. Course textbook(s), course lecture notes, and course content are the only resources permitted for this assignment. A reference page is not required. Your response should demonstrate advanced clinical reasoning based on the patient’s cardiovascular history, risk factors, blood pressure findings, heart sound findings, and evidence of possible target-organ involvement. *Please see the attached rubric.
