Subject: established patient who is s/l 25 and 5 7ths weeks of gestational age sm
The patient is not 25 years old but she dictates these numbers and I am unsure how to type it for it to make sense. It sounds like she is saying, "patient is 25 and 5/7 weeks gestational age. Do they dictate gestational age by the 7ths for days of the week? Would you type it 25-5/7 week gestational age?

it would mean an intrauterine pregnancy after a cesarean section, which "could" be the case but unlikely.
Same with something like "coronary artery disease, status post coronary artery bypass graft," which means a CABG was performed after the diagnosis. Without the comma (CAD status post CABG), it would mean there is CAD found after the CABG.

a compound modifier for "infant." Weird or not, that's the way it is. My opinion, if the correct way looks too "weird" for you and you don't mind getting pinged by QA, then use no hyphens at all because "gestational- age" definitely should not be hyphenated.
Hey, it's not my initials on the report. I'm just offering my help. It's up to the OP.

"as well as" does not equal "and"
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.
