I'd like to ask your opinion on this translation. This is a question used in the title of an article:
"Modelos teóricos para a prestação de cuidados de enfermagem de reabilitação. Que contributos?"
so, do you agree with "Which contributes?" ... I'm a bit confused here...
thanks :)

What contributions can be made?
It doesn't make sense unless you turn it into a sentence.

Other possibilities, without the question mark, might be:
"Contributions to Theoretical Models for the Delivery of Rehabilitation Nursing Care."
"Theoretical Models for the Delivery of Rehabilitation Nursing Care: Some Proposed Contributions"

| so, you're saying that it's not possible to have "what contributions?"... we need the verb... |

Comment: "I appreciate all your comments. Thanks.
I think the question form is the best option.
Something that occurred: the author mentions theoretical models as the main source of contributions in rehab nursing care, so I don't think "contributions to theoretical models" is appropriate in this case.
Hope my note is clear to you... Thanks "

What contributions
Veja como o Aurélio define "contributo":
[Do lat. contributu.]
S. m.
1. Aquilo com que se contribui; contribuição.
Assim, tratando-se de um substantivo, "contributions" seria o equivalente, e não o verbo "contribuir".

I don't share that statement: the original is a question, like it or not, and we must not change the author's intention.

: This is clearly a question folks. It is a title but in the interrogative form.
