Correct answer is option A
The use of both hands is helpful in assessing the fundus to prevent uterine inversion.

The puerperium period cannot be hasten by accessing the fundus of the uterus, puerperium period is a period of about 6 weeks after childbirth during which the mother’s reproductive organs return to their original non pregnant state.
