A plurality of risk indicia is printed on the band to notify a medical care provider of the medical risk to the patient. A patient identifying indicia is printed on the band for identification of the patient. A plurality of covers is each removably coupled to the band to inhibit the risk indicia and the patient identifying indicia from being visible. Each of the covers is selectively removed from the band to reveal the associated ones of the risk indicia and the patient identifying indicia to notify the medical care provider of the medical risk to the patient. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A patient and medical risk identification assembly comprising: a band being configured to be worn by a patient; a plurality of risk indicia being printed on said band wherein each of said risk indicia is configured to notify a medical care provider of said medical risk to the patient; a patient identifying indicia being printed on said band for identification of the patient; and a plurality of covers each being removably coupled to said band to inhibit said risk indicia and said patient identifying indicia from being visible, each of said covers being selectively removed from said band to reveal said associated ones of said risk indicia and said patient identifying indicia to notify the medical care provider of said medical risk to the patient. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The assembly according to claim 1, wherein said band has a front surface, a back surface, a first lateral edge, a second lateral edge, a top edge and a bottom edge, said band being elongated between said first lateral edge and said second lateral edge. ### Claim 3 (depends on 2) The assembly according to claim 2, wherein each of said risk indicia is printed on said front surface of said band, each of said risk indicia comprising a different said medical risk unique to each of said risk indicia. ### Claim 4 (depends on 2) The assembly according to claim 2, wherein said patient identifying indicia are printed on said front surface of said band, said patient identifying indicia comprising a bar code. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The assembly according to claim 1, wherein each of said risk indicia and said patient identifying indicia has one of said covers associated therewith wherein each of said covers is positioned over said associated one of said risk indicia and said patient identifying indicia. ### Claim 6 (depends on 5) The assembly according to claim 5, wherein each of said covers is comprised of an opaque material, each of said covers having a forward surface and a rear surface. ### Claim 7 (depends on 6) The assembly according to claim 6, further comprising a plurality of adhesive layers, said rear surface of each of said covers having one of said adhesive layers positioned thereon, each of said adhesive layers abutting said front surface of said band wherein each of said covers removably covers said associated one of said risk indicia and said patient identifying indicia. ### Claim 8 (depends on 2) The assembly according to claim 2, further comprising a coupler being positioned on said front surface of said band adjacent to said first lateral edge, said coupler engaging a back surface of said band adjacent to said second lateral edge wherein said band forms a closed loop shape, said band being configured to be worn on the wrist of a patient when said closed loop shape is formed. ### Claim 9 (depends on 8) The assembly according to claim 8, wherein said coupler comprises an adhesive. ### Claim 10 A patient and medical risk identification assembly comprising: a band having a front surface, a back surface, a first lateral edge, a second lateral edge, a top edge and a bottom edge, said band being elongated between said first lateral edge and said second lateral edge, said band being configured to be worn by a patient; a plurality of risk indicia, each of said risk indicia being printed on said front surface of said band, each of said risk indicia comprising a different said medical risk unique to each of said risk indicia, each of said risk indicia being configured to notify a medical care provider of said medical risk to the patient; a patient identifying indicia being printed on said front surface of said band, said patient identifying indicia comprising a bar code wherein said bar code is associated with an identification of the patient; a plurality of covers being removably coupled to said band, each of said risk indicia and said patient identifying indicia having one of said covers associated therewith wherein each of said covers is positioned over said associated one of said risk indicia and said patient identifying indicia, each of said covers being comprised of an opaque material to inhibit said risk indicia and said patient identifying indicia from being visible, each of said covers being selectively removed from said band to reveal said associated ones of said risk indicia and said patient identifying indicia to notify the medical care provider of said medical risk to the patient, each of said covers having a forward surface and a rear surface; a plurality of adhesive layers, said rear surface of each of said covers having one of said adhesive layers positioned thereon, each of said adhesive layers abutting said front surface of said band wherein each of said covers removably covers said associated one of said risk indicia and said patient identifying indicia; and a coupler being positioned on said front surface of said band adjacent to said first lateral edge, said coupler engaging a back surface of said band adjacent to said second lateral edge wherein said band forms a closed loop shape, said band being configured to be worn on the wrist of a patient when said closed loop shape is formed, said coupler comprising an adhesive.
