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?

New standard states:
Subject: New standard states:

And I quote: "Numerals, or figures, stand out from the surrounding text and serve a functional purpose in medical reports, where they should be used almost exclusively as opposed to spelled-out numbers.

Exceptions: Judgment and discretion are need when deciding but adjacent numbers require one to be spelled out to avoid confusion.

Use a comma to separate adjacent unrelated numerals if neither can be readily expressed in words and the sentence cannot be readily reworded.

Use numerals for fractions.

Spell out numbers that begin a sentence.

Zero is always spelled out when it stands alone.

Spell out numbers used as pronouns.

That should get you started!
