What is a conceptual framework?

A conceptual framework is “a set of relatively abstract and general concepts that address the phenomena of central interest to a discipline, the propositions that broadly describe those concepts, and the propositions that state relatively abstract and general relations between two or more of the concepts” (Butts & Rich, 2018, p. 96).

Conceptual frameworks have a practical value because they guide research and practice. Each conceptual framework of nursing gives the disciple a unique perspective of the metaparadigm concept and provides a path for concrete theories.

Directions

In this assignment, you are going to locate a conceptual framework that you could use in advanced nursing practice. Explain how your chosen conceptual framework of nursing relates to the unique perspective of the metaparadigm concept of person/client, nurse, health, and environment and apply the value of a conceptual framework to advanced nursing roles. Keep in mind, that the conceptual framework is used to allow for practical applications of the metaparadigm concept that will lead to a concrete theory.

Your unit 9 assignment includes a section where you have to use a movenote presentation:

“Movenote Presentation

In one section of your WebQuest, you will include a link to a Movenote presentation that you create. Movenote is an online tool that allows you to combine slides (e.g., PowerPoint, Google Slides, or Prezi slides) and video, displayed as an inset. The video will be of you, on camera, as you narrate. In this way, you can combine the two, presenting your ideas in video as you display your slides. Be sure to review How to Use Movenote for Your Assignment Presentation before you begin.”

Please use PowerPoint with audio instead of Movenote, as the movenote app is not functional as of now.

attached is the Unit 9 assignment, It needs to be made into a move note presentation/powerpoint

Being a life-long learner in science requires one to read and understand scientific articles. Write a 3 to 4 page summary of the article Mediation of the Acute Stress Response by the Skeleton by Julian Meyer Berger et al. in Cell Metabolism (November 2019). In addition to your summery, clearly state the author’s question they sought to answer in this paper and comment why the author’s decided to pursue this research. What current information about the mediators of the Acute Stress Response seems inconsistent with the response?
