The appropriate way to document a premature infant's gestational age is to specify the number of weeks and days of gestation at birth. In this case, "Infant was born at 33 weeks and 4 days gestation." Option A is not specific enough and does not provide the exact gestational age. Option B is incorrect as gestational age is measured in weeks not in the term "premature". Option C is incorrect as not all infants are delivered on their exact due date.
