You'll want to take the #40 bus from Stazione Termini to Largo di Torre Argentina. It's about 5min walk from there to Pza Navonna. Bus will take about 10-15min.
Only the small electric bus #116 actually goes to Pza Navonna - it's a handy route that snakes through the historic center.
Here's the Rome bus system route planner

It's been a few years since we were in Rome, but I do remember that we bought a day bus pass. You then can hop on and off the bus you need to get you where you want to go. The bus system is pretty easy to figure out and we found it a good deal $$ wise.

As Lyn44 says, there are daily and three day passes for the transit system and some options for getting transportation in conjunction with the Roma Pass. If you are staying near Piazza Navona, you may find it cheaper to buy individual tickets (1 euro/each) most days. You will be able to walk to a lot of places in the historic center. We found we only took one or two bus trips per day, and the break even point for the passes is 4 trips/day (or 11 trips in 3 days)
The individual tickets can be purchased at tobacconists--there are ticket machines at some major stops but they often did not work

The No. 40 bus is an express; the next stop after Largo Argentina is at Chiesa Nuova, which is just as far from Piazza Navona.
The No. 64 has more frequent stops, one at Sant'Andrea della Valle and another called Piazza Navona. Neither is *right* at Piazza Navona; one is a little before, one a little after.
