Assign higher costs to non-nutritious foods than nutritious foods via incentives, subsidies, or price discounts for healthy foods and beverages or disincentives or price increases for unhealthy choices

Use regulation to extend nurse practitioners’ (NPs’) scope of practice to provide care to the full scope of their training and skills without physician oversight, especially for primary care

Use visual tools to prompt safe practices, standardize communication, and ensure no step is forgotten before, during, or after a medical procedure or other health care situation

Conduct individual assessments that gauge older adults’ risk of falling and develop personalized approaches to help prevent falls

Increase the price of sugar sweetened beverages (e.g., soda) by adding an excise or sales tax
