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?

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.
