Answer:

A urinary catheter

Explanation:

A urinary catheter is a tube that drains urine from the bladder. It is used in conditions such as incontinence, urinary retention or following  a gynecologic surgery.

The urinary catheter, through the opening for the passage of urine called the <em>urethra</em>, is passed into the <em>bladder</em>. The catheter is connected to a bag that collects the urine. This bag could come in a small or a big size, depending on the purpose of usage and the time of the day being used.

The lack of control of urination, coupled with the fact that the client's rheumatoid arthritis makes it more difficult to move, makes an alternative means of passing urine important. The urinary bag does  not require any form of movement to be functional therefore, with a urinary catheter and bag, the patient is stable and can effectively be given treatment to alleviate the pain and manage the incontinence.

Africa is a continent split in half by the equator. Which climate zone is it mostly located in?
butalik [34]

Answer: Tropical

Explanation:

"The equator runs through the middle of Africa, as do the Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic of Capricorn, making Africa the most tropical continent. The already hot and dry climate that straddles the equator, makes it the most vulnerable continent to climate change."

What is a difference between Newston’s laws of motion and Elinstein’s theory of relativity ?
DENIUS [597]
<span>Sir Isaac Newton quantified the gravity between two objects when he formulated his three laws of motion. ... Yet Newton's laws assume that gravity is an innate force of an object that can act over a distance

</span>

In 1905, Albert Einstein determined that the laws of physics are the same for all non-accelerating observers, and that the speed of light in a vacuum was independent of the motion of all observers. This was the theory of special relativity. It introduced a new framework for all of physics and proposed new concepts of space and time.

Einstein then spent 10 years trying to include acceleration in the theory and published his theory of general relativity in 1915. In it, he determined that massive objects cause a distortion in space-time, which is felt as gravity.
