"Keep her head above water" is an idiomatic expression that means to manage to avoid failure or difficulty, particularly in challenging situations. It is used to describe someone who is successfully coping with a tough situation or not being overwhelmed by it. (1) Continue working without taking breaks: This does not match the idiom's meaning of managing or coping with difficulties. (3) Maintain a stable financial situation: While it may seem relevant, the idiom is more broadly about managing challenges rather than financial stability specifically. (4) Stay in a safe place: This does not convey the meaning of the idiom.
