In the standard of changing scope of practice, the definition of changing scope of practice is defined slightly better at the bottom of the standard but in the first paragraph of the second page, the standard reads "It is considered a change in scope when members wish to add a new medical service to their practice.". This is a very broad statement and could be interpreted as any introduction of a new classification of drugs would trigger this practice. Hence, any of the new antihypertensives or something like the addition of Ozempic prescriptions could trigger this standard. It could also be interpreted as a trigger if a patient were admitted to hospital on something like an orthopaedic service but were on longstanding medications that don't pertain to orthopaedics but the orthopaedic surgeon orders those medications anyway.
