The action the nurse should  take after deflating the balloon tip following pressure measurement is to deflate the balloon as soon as the PAWP is measured.  

<h3>What is  pulmonary artery wedge pressure (PAWP)?</h3>

The pulmonary wedge pressure(PAWP) also called pulmonary arterial wedge pressure, pulmonary capillary wedge pressure, pulmonary artery occlusion pressure, or cross-sectional pressure, is the pressure measured by wedging a pulmonary artery catheter with an inflated balloon into a small pulmonary arterial branch.

Although the balloon must be inflated to measure the PAWP, it is deflated as soon as the PAWP is obtained to allow blood to continue to flow through the pulmonary artery.

the nurse is providing preoperative teaching for the patient who is to undergo a total laryngectomy. which nursing intervention
Citrus2011 [14]

Most important nursing intervention after laryngectomy is that after surgery, your voice may return to normal but you will sound hoarse.

Since the false cords are removed during a supraglottic partial laryngectomy, patients may recover from surgery with a normal or raspy voice. A total laryngectomy patient won't have a natural voice. A laryngo-fissure patient will have a normal voice. A hemilaryngectomy patient will have hoarse voice. Thus, the patient after a total laryngectomy will have a hoarse voice.

The larynx can be removed in whole or in part through a laryngectomy (voice box). It entails making an incision (cut) over the Adam's apple region on the outside of the neck. Partial laryngectomy: In order to treat some laryngeal malignancies, only a portion of the voice box needs to be removed.
