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.
