If blood is drawn without consent, the patient may file a lawsuit for

Negligence
Invasion of Privacy
Assault and Battery
Malpractice

The correct answer is: Assault and Battery

Without the patient's consent, the medical professional performing the blood draw may be committing assault and battery, as they are performing a medical procedure without permission. Options A, B, and D are incorrect because they do not address the fact that the blood was taken without consent. Negligence refers to the failure of the medical professional to provide proper care, invasion of privacy is a violation of the patient's personal information, and malpractice involves an improper or negligent act committed by a professional. While all of these concepts can occur in a medical setting, they are not the main concern in this situation where blood was taken without consent.
