Can I give my 13 week old puppy Praziquantel shortly after giving her Febendazole and Trifexis? She seems to have tapeworms and potentially roundworms.

Fendbendazole and Trifexis will both treat for roundworms. Praziquantel only deworms for tapeworms, not roundworms. You can give the praziquantel but it is best to wait at least 24 hours after you have given the others before doing so.
