A phlebotomist touches a patient's arm and begins to perform venipuncture before obtaining consent from the patient. Which of the following torts has the phlebotomist committed?

Libel involves written or published false statements that harm a person's reputation. It pertains to defamation through written communication, such as newspapers, magazines, or online platforms, rather than physical actions like unauthorized medical procedures.

Fraud entails intentional deception or misrepresentation that causes harm or loss to another individual. It typically involves deceit for financial gain or personal advantage, distinct from the immediate physical violation inherent in the scenario of performing venipuncture without consent.

Invasion of privacy refers to intrusions into an individual's personal life or affairs without permission. This tort encompasses violations like unauthorized surveillance, disclosure of private information, or intrusion into secluded spaces. While related to bodily autonomy and personal boundaries, it differs from the direct physical contact of battery.
