Blood testing is typically regarded as ordinary hospital care. So are X-rays and most diagnostic tests.All other tests and procedures need separate consent forms.That said, a patient can revoke consent even for one or all blood tests, if they choose to do so. If a lucid patient says No, and a nurse (or lab tech, or doctor) tries to insert a needle into a vein against patient wishes, it can be a tort. A medical person cannot touch a patient once the patient clearly states NO. Go to your Supervisor, if this occurs. A Super or the doctor might get the patient's cooperation. Of course, doctors don't like games, so the doctor could dismiss the patient from care unless the patient can express a really good reason to say no to a doctor's order.
