Senna is an over counter med. She may have some leeway with that. But even for tylenol the nurse had to have a Drs order and how many times she was allowed it.
The doctor needs to change orders. It could be changed to "PRN" or As Needed. I would not change the dosage / frequency of a medication "to please the family" a change in dose or frequency should be for the benefit of the patient.
