Correct spelling is:

Appeared in: RML PRE 2025

Explanation

The word 'Beautiful' is an adjective correctly formed from the noun 'beauty' and the suffix '-ful'.
A key spelling rule is applied: When a word ends in a consonant followed by 'y' (like 'beauty'), the 'y' is changed to an 'i' before adding a suffix.
Another important rule is that the suffix '-ful' is always spelled with one 'l', even though the standalone word 'full' has two 'l's.

Option B: This is a phonetic misspelling and not a valid word in the English language.
Option C: This is a correctly spelled adverb, meaning 'in a beautiful manner'. However, the question is designed to test the spelling of the base adjective, 'beautiful', by presenting it alongside its common misspellings.
Option D: This is a very common spelling error. The suffix '-ful' is always spelled with a single 'l'.

Clinical Relevance

Nursing practice connection: This is primarily an exam-oriented knowledge point with limited direct bedside application, so retain English spelling rules for suffixes as background academic context rather than a clinical decision trigger.
Accurate spelling is fundamental to clear and professional communication in all fields, including healthcare.
In nursing, precise documentation in patient charts, reports, and prescriptions is critical. Spelling errors can lead to misinterpretation, medication errors, and compromised patient safety.
What if? If a nurse documented a 'painful' procedure as 'painfull', it reflects a lack of attention to detail. While seemingly minor, such errors can undermine the credibility and professionalism of the entire clinical record, especially in legal contexts.

How to Approach the Question

First, identify the core task: the question asks to find the correctly spelled word from the given options.
Analyze each option for common spelling errors. Pay attention to suffixes, vowel combinations, and silent letters.
Apply known English spelling rules. In this case, recall the rules for adding suffixes to words ending in 'y' and the correct spelling of the suffix '-ful'.
Eliminate options that violate these rules. 'Busetiful' is a clear misspelling, and 'Beautifull' incorrectly uses a double 'l'.
Differentiate between the remaining plausible options. 'Beautiful' is an adjective, and 'Beautifully' is an adverb. Since the options include common misspellings of the adjective, the question is most likely testing the correct spelling of the base adjective itself.
