Performing a procedure when the patient has refused is defined as:

Negligence
Malpractice
Assault and battery
Invasion of privacy

The correct answer is: Assault and battery

Assault and battery refers to performing a procedure on a patient without their consent. Negligence refers to failing to provide proper care or performing a procedure incorrectly, which is not the case when a patient has refused. Malpractice is when a medical professional's actions result in harm or injury to a patient, which may not necessarily occur if a patient has refused a procedure. Invasion of privacy refers to disclosing a patient's private information without their consent, which does not apply in this situation. Therefore, the most accurate and relevant term to describe performing a procedure against a patient's will is assault and battery.
