Subject: "as well as" does not equal "and"
i.e., the phrase isn't a conjunction and doesn't get treated the same way in a sentence. So your first choice is correct. I find that a lot of docs dictate "w, x, y as well as z." I always change this to w, x and y as well as z.
Good catch.

Subject: "as well as" usage
I have a dictator that constantly uses "as well as" in the following manner:
"The patient is treated for a variety of issues including hyperlipidemia, hypertension, LVH, as well as generalized risk factor modification."
Shouldn't there be an "and" before LVH to make "as well as" work in this sentence? I read that "as well as" does not mean "and" - any help?
