1) Nursing diagnosis is - Risk for constipation related to perineal discomfort secondary to episiotomy.
2) TA has fear for taking docusate with sennosides product because she thinks it may cause diarrhoea to her baby through breastfeeding, as every medicine taken by the mother during lactation also enters into the baby's body through breastfeeding and affects the baby.
