Yes.

Close the cursor first then unprepare it. Next time it would be
used, invalidating the SQL would unprepare it any case; but, in the
meantime, it is untidy practice to keep a set prepared if you're not
planning to re-use it soon. It's one more piece of stuff that would
have to be taken care of by the server if, say, the connection was
broken; and it's not useful to have the server holding resources
unecessarily; and, if it is in a read-write transaction, it will hold
up garbage collection.
